Groves Christian College
Groves Christian College wanted to transform an underutilised service road space within their school grounds into a welcoming, multi-use area. The result is an open and user-friendly space.
Working for our customer Groves Christian College, with the landscape architecture by Place Design Group, our delivery team’s work on this project included the installation of concrete retaining walls that double as seating, a bespoke steel retaining wall, new picnic facilities, shelters, planting and paving works. The space still allows for vehicular access as required.
Finding Unexpected Rock
Unexpected rock during the project posed challenges for the team, with the rock needing to be excavated in a timely fashion to still meet the intended project completion date.
Through transparent communication with the client, adjustments to sequencing and the site team working additional hours and weekends for several weeks, we were able to mitigate these issues.
A Quality Outcome
Working at a school during term required additional WHS considerations for heavy vehicle access, consultation with parents and children during pick up and drop off periods, and modifying noise during certain events.
Our construction team has delivered a high-quality outcome, working collaboratively with our client and the design team, and providing solutions for every challenge as it arose.
Now, whether it’s a training day, a place to gather or enjoy lunch, school fete or festival, the new space fosters learning and connection for teachers, students and visitors alike.
