D Form Civil were engaged in the new St Peter Apostle Primary school build located in Hoppers Crossing in Victoria by our client Midsons. The project was to deliver a new build on the grounds of the existing primary school to provide a larger learning centre for the ever growing population in the area.
The team were assigned with delivering the full civil and structural scope of works which included the formwork, reinforcement and concrete. The project scope included the completion of all the foundations, 2 floor slabs, 2 sets of in-situ concrete stairs, a lift shaft and 4 circular columns throughout the 500m2 building.Â
Some challenges were encountered along the way including unfavourable ground conditions leading to the foundations of the building being modified to suit with some small design changes.

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