On 20th of October, we successfully completed the Head House roof slab, marking a significant milestone in the delivery of this technically challenging structure, constructed alongside an operational railway line.
Key Project Highlights:
- 𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐞: A 1,250 m² reinforced concrete Head House constructed within a highly constrained environment.
- 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬: A 1 m-thick base slab, vertical elements up to 8.5 m high and 700 mm wide, cast in a single lift, and a 350 mm-thick roof slab.
- 𝐓𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬: A triple-height formwork and falsework system designed to support both vertical and horizontal construction activities.
- 𝐑𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: Approximately 985 tonnes of steel reinforcement, with bar diameters ranging from 16 mm to 40 mm.
- 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: Double-sided formwork and two tower cranes supporting the complex construction activities.
The works presented significant challenges due to tight logistical constraints, restricted working space and the proximity of the operational railway. Through meticulous planning, technical expertise, effective coordination and strong teamwork, we successfully overcame these challenges and achieved this important milestone. This achievement reflects the team's engineering capabilities, construction expertise and unwavering commitment to successful project delivery.
