Northern Water Feature, Olympic Park, Sydney

A scenic attraction of the Olympic Boulevard at Homebush Bay is the Northern Water Feature, which doubles as an environmentally friendly stormwater reclamation system. Located at a former landfill, the features captures stormwater runoff which is thoroughly cleaned through newly created wetland ponds, polished through a rain filter system, and recycled through a 10 meter high fountain at the other end of the boulevard. GHD oversaw the clever marriage of engineering and environmental initiatives while converting a dump site into a major feature of the Public Domain.

Our reputation has been built on our ability to provide economical designs which focus on constructability, simplicity, innovation and technical excellence.

A focus on your needs

GHD focuses on creating wealth and opportunity for our clients and their customers by providing economical designs which meet or exceed objectives. Our designs are always based on a rigorous application of sound engineering principles to ensure serviceable, low maintenance structures. There are many aspects to achieving economical structural design and designing to a budget. Low cost structural systems and simple detailing do not just happen. They are the result of clever lateral thinking and a confidence based on experience, an inherent understanding of structural behaviour and putting in the extra hours. GHD provides economical structural solutions to meet client needs by:

Experience
Belmont Pump Station, Perth
GHD has long been an active player in the design of specialist water retaining structures in concrete and steel. In Perth, the fast track delivery of the 250 megalitre per day Belmont Pump Station earned our project team praise from the Water Corporation of Western Australia.

CBH Grain Storage Cells, Perth

GHD designed a number of 19,000 tonne, 16 sided grain storage facilities using precast, prestressed concrete panels for wall units with a steel roof system. Designs were prepared for a range of sizes and the system is being used at the Kooragang Island storage facilities in NSW where the design has been modified to incorporate timber piles due to varying ground conditions.

Currambine Train Station, Perth

This station was relocated due to realignment of the railway. GHD structural engineers provided solutions for such issues as potential failure of the canopy structure due to derailment; an underpass with bridging provided for one line travelling north and one south on either side of the platform; corrosion protection; electrical continuity due to the electrified rail system; and keeping the existing station operational during construction.

JP Morgan Investor Services Centre, Adelaide

GHD carried out design for a new office and call centre building on two levels over underground car parking. The building structure comprises a steel frame with post tensioned slabs on Bondek to overcome the prohibitive cost of formwork.

Sorell Causeway Bridge, Tasmania

GHD was successful with the contractor in winning the tender for the Sorell Causeway, a 460 metre long two lane bridge to carry the Tasman Highway across Pitwater. The 25.5 metre long spans use a prestressed concrete trough girder built from match cast units glued together and erected span by span. This was the first use of this form of design and construction in Australia.
