FKP engaged Shamrock Civil Engineering to do the bulk excavation and facilitate the Top Down construction of 3 basement levels for Matisse Towers in Mary St, Brisbane.
Combining the contaminated and constricted site with the Top Down construction and high level of co-ordination this job certainly possessed its fair share of potential issues.
The construction process involved preparing each level to have the slab poured. Once the slab was poured and cured SCE commenced the excavation and then under-mining of each level until the surface below was prepared for the concurrent slab. During this process SCE would remove the bulk of the material, scabble the walls, columns and roof where necessary, and demolish the lift pit over pour. SCE would then prepare any rebates or recesses and prepare the slab and then allow the concreters to pour the next slab.
As well as the restricted space and the potential safety issues apparent with a job like this, SCE also utilized specialized machinery to extract material up to 10m through the centre of the site in order to load Trucks on the top slab and remove the material.

Southbank Institute of Technology lies in the heart of Brisbane’s Southbank district. It is Queensland's leading Institute of TAFE with more than 27,000 students enrolled. Since 2005, the Institute has been engaged in a $550m redevelopment project to create a world-class facility at its Southbank campus. Running through the heart of the TAFE campus is the Educational Pathway. Starting at Glenelg St. the pathway runs through Ernest St. to connect to Turbine St. on the opposite side of the campus. This connects Block E and Block C of the college together.
The package awarded to SCE was split into two stages. Stage 1 was the construction of a 700m2 visitor’s carpark located in the campus grounds, adjacent to Merivale St. Stage 2 comprised of the redevelopment of Ernest Street between Merivale St. and Colchester St.
Stage 1 works began at the end of August and comprised of:
· The demolition and excavation of existing services in the carpark
· Installation of 50m of Stormwater pipes, including construction of new pits and connections to existing.
· Construction of 150m of Kerb, including subsoil’s to suit
· Construction of 700m2 of Asphalt pavements, followed by linemarking and installation of signage.
Stage 2 works involved a full road closure. This had to be coordinated with John Holland and the Brisbane City Council to ensure there would be no clash with the River Fire festival. Stage 2 works started in early September after River Fire and ran concurrently with Stage 1. Works comprised of:
· Location of existing services
· Demolition of existing pavement, kerb and footpaths and preparation for new pavement
· Installation of 80m of Stormwater pipes, including construction of new pits and connections to existing services.
· Installation of 30m of ACO polycrete custom stainless steel grate and frame.
· The Road was constructed from both asphalt and concrete and included ramps at either end.
· Concrete works included placing colour concrete and placing an exposed concrete.
· Thermoplastic linemarking and signage
For the duration of the project safety was the main priority for persons working on site and for the public and students passing by the site every day. The project was completed on budget and Ernest Street was reopened according to the program set by Brisbane City Council.
