Diaphragm Wall:
Barrettes:
Construction of the diaphragm wall to form the car park under
the extension of the Thomson Medical Centre along Thomson Road. This
site was particularly challanging due to teh very small area available
(see below). Additionally, the barrette piles had top down plunged
stanchions in them. This allowed the excavationto proceed at the same
time as the construction above after the 1st floor slab was cast.

The top down stanchions consisted of 3 steel sections
prefabricated on site and lowered into the excavation.

The incredibly small site meant working in tight
spaces!
