Special Features & Innovative techniques
- Adaptive re-use of a heritage wharf building
- Reconstruction of major structural elements within the heritage
context, and building over the water provided particular complexities
and challenges which were successfully overcome.
- A 100 year strategy for maintenance of the re-used wooden piles
was prepared, to ensure the longevity of this wonderful new precinct.
- Lowering the aprin of the wharf and creating significant public
open wharf space that provides
continuous access to Sydney Harbour Foreshore, in line with the
on-going strategy for opening
up Sydney’s foreshores to the people of Sydney and visitors.
- Use of sonar technology to assess the existing strength of
the wooden piles of the wharf
- Use of world’s leading technology for wrapping the piles
in a polyeurethane skin to protect and enhance their life and
ensure retention of their strength
- Modular technology used to create the floor levels of the building,
using the existing structure
- Submerging of plant rooms due to the confined space in the
building
