Richmond Terminal Station

D Form Civil were engaged by Multiworks to complete the formwork package of the 220kV Cable Culvert at the Richmond Terminal Station Upgrade project. Being our first contract works within the live electrical substation sector, this project was key to prove the capabilities of our teams within these High-Risk work environments. The first package included forming approx. 50lm of 2m high walls which would eventually house connecting 220kV Cables from the GIS Building to a Transformer.

Upon successful completion of the 220kV Culvert, D Form Civil were then engaged to form the basement walls, columns, and suspended slab for the 66kV GIS Building within the station. The building was on the critical path for the client, and as such the works needed to be well planned to ensure that the timeframes were met. Through consultation with the client, the methodology was revised which allowed 75lm of 3.2m high walls to be formed and poured within 5 days. This allowed the remaining works to be completed ahead of schedule.

  • Location: Richmond, Melbourne

As part of the major accommodation upgrade for Monash University, Clayton campus, D Form Civil where awarded the contract to deliver the in-situ curved feature walls located within the external recreation zone of the student accommodation.

Some of the main challenges faced on the ground where delivering the complex designs with a distinct look and identity. To obtain the high standard concrete finish desired, this required high-level strategic planning of materials and resources.  The sequencing of production of prefabrication moulds before commencing works was instrumental in achieving the tight timeframe for this scope of work.

Deakin Uni

D From Civil won the contract to construct the feature wall as part of the Deakin University Campus Infrastructure upgrade, by longstanding client, MCS Concreting.

Challenges in the delivery of the project included the environmental risks that wind imposes when working at heights. D Form implemented precise planning and coordination in the initial stages of works to mitigate these risks on the ground at construction stage and allowed us to pre-empt a variety of bracing options. Moreover, it gave us the foresight to integrate PERI as a formwork system.

Our team showcased strong cooperation and collaboration both internally and, on the ground, when delivering this project.

The key success factor behind this project was precise planning and coordination. The sharp timeframe on completion and the rural geographical location posed some challenges on sourcing local materials and resources. Strong winds were also often a daily challenge for both manual handling and cranage operations. 

Our team exhibited strong co-operation with the client and other contractors on site when delivering the project.
