Built around movement.

At Dandenong that meant building a new amenities building beside a live platform and inside a working control room, on ground filled with someone else's concrete debris.

1
What mattered

A new amenities and communications building had to be designed and built alongside a live platform and inside the existing control room, on a disused underpass site heavily filled with concrete debris from earlier projects.

2
What we did

Works beside the operating platform and control room were planned and communicated to keep the station running, with a three-metre excavation and large screw piles engineered to found the structure through the debris-filled ground.

3
What it achieved

Delivered on time to the expectations of Metro Trains Melbourne, Public Transport Victoria and the Train Drivers Union, with the success leading to many subsequent projects.
