SUSTAINABLE EARTHWORKS Innovative Material Replacement As Perth continues to sprawl beyond its natural boundaries, the idyllic sandy soil conditions rapidly transition into waterlogged clayey sites, creating difficult working conditions and generating the need to source quality fill materials. With this move away from the coast, sand fill is becoming difficult to obtain, producing higher demand and cost factors. Necessity to explore alternative site treatments is becoming imperative, leading to research into sustainable opportunities to reuse material, traditionally discarded off site. In order to explore innovative methods, a number of outdated practices need to be eliminated. As an example, most Local Government Authorities will not accept less than an ‘S’ Classification for a residential site and usually apply the Residential Footing Code to multi-storey and industrial/commercial developments. To meet this requirement, virgin quarry material is imported to sites, often metres above the site’s natural surface. Another obsolete requirement is that of separation to ground water, which was originally integrated for leach drain/septic tank solutions. The provision for deep sewer should be mandated in modern residential land development practice, reducing the need for outdated requirements. Similarly, integrated drainage systems should be widely implemented to replace individual soakwells. Pritchard Francis has investigated, designed and supervised the construction of alternative approaches, providing direct fiscal, social and environmental benefits to projects. Site fill issues can be resolved by either the retention of environmentally impacted, structurally suitable material in appropriate containment or through the provision of satisfactory environmental separation methods. There are a series of ways to achieve sustainable outcomes; • Internal Borrowing • Material Displacement (crushed rubble in road form and sand to lots) • Containment of Structurally suitable impacted material • Soil Blending • Non-Traditional Ground Improvement More than half of the projects detailed in Directions 2031 are Brownfields projects, these sites would be considered highly suitable for the efficiencies created through innovative design and engineered outcomes. For any queries you have with regard to sustainability and efficiency opportunities for Green and particularly Brownfield sites in Perth, please contact one of our Civil Project Directors on (08) 9382 5111.

Sub Area ‘A’ Rous Head
Rous Head Sub Area A is a commercial
sea container terminal facility, developed
on reclaimed land at the Fremantle Port for
Stevenson’s Logistics Services.
The development contains over 5.2ha of
external pavements designed to cater for 109
tonne reach stacker point loads and containers
stacked 6 high vertically. Structurally the
project involved two warehouses totalling
2000m2 for racking and side tipper loads.
Externally a 1000m2 350 tonne tracked vehicle
quarantine wash-down pad was designed as
well as future provision for a 50 tonne dual lift
external gantry crane.

Tuckey Cove
Located in Mandurah, Tuckey Cove development has been
constructed in approximately 50 lot stages since the early
1990s. The project currently consists of a 1,000 lot subdivision
with approximately 400 lots left to be developed. Pritchard
Francis has been involved in the projects planning and
delivery for numerous years. The team is currently designing
future stages and liaising with authorities to ensure sufficient
infrastructure is in place as the development continues to
grow.
Tuckey Cove
Precinct 3, Port Hedland
Pritchard Francis undertook the initial due diligence on a 70ha site adjacent to the Port Hedland International Airport. Since then, Pritchard Francis was subsequently involved with the concept design, detailed design and documentation and tender documentation of the development.
Pritchard Francis also provided the site supervision and contract administration services during construction. The key issues relating to thisprojectincludedtheprovisionofservicestoasiterelativelyremotefromexistinginfrastructure,floodmodellingandtheimportingofsubstantial volumes of fill material.
Water Corporation Balcatta
Pritchard Francis provided civil and structural engineering services for this significant office development for the Water Corporation. The
project tripled the size of the existing development, enhancing the whole facility to a high level office grade. Sustainability was a key focus
of the project, which achieved a 4 star Green Star rating. Cement replacement and prefabricated steel facades assisted in the structural
sustainability, with significant effort being put into the sustainable use of water in the carpark and landscaping.
Tanner Ridge, Lot 80 Coast Road
Tanner Ridge Estate involved a 94 lot subdivision, with lots varying in size from 144m2 to 250m2 located in the jurisdiction of City of Swan.
Careful consideration was required during the design stage as the site had clayey soil conditions, high groundwater table levels, minimal sewer grades that dictated minimum lot levels and small sized lots. This made location of services a critical component.
Significant volumes of structural fill were brought on site to allow sufficient clearance between the high groundwater table and the finished lot levels. Achieving a Class A site classification, subsoil drainage was introduced in order to control the groundwater level.
BOC Ltd Air Separation Unit Complex
In conjunction with BOC, Pritchard Francis provided design and documentation for the plant layout, including the roadworks, weighbridge, machine house, footings and foundations for all process equipment. Extremely tight tolerances needed to be achieved and maintained for all footing and foundation design to suit process equipment manufactured and supplied from Europe and Asia.

The Derby District High School project consists of a performing
arts auditorium, music classroom, food and textiles block and
early childhood teaching facility. The upgraded school campus
will provide a contemporary educational facility for students from
Kindergarten to Year 12.
Pearsall Primary School
This new Primary School consists of several new teaching blocks,
a covered assembly, library and administration block. Civil works
included bulk earthworks including school oval, retaining walls, two
playing courts, car parking (86 bays) and internal access roads and
pavement stormwater drainage for the school site.
Indian Ocean Suites, Port Hedland
The Indian Ocean Suites development is
a landmark multi residential development
for the Port Hedland region. With seven
multi storey apartments up to five storeys
high, the development required an in-
depth analysis for stability under cyclonic
and earthquake conditions. The regional
location meant that a number of precast
and prefabricated elements were used to
minimise cost and maximise construction
speed.
338 Barker Road, Subiaco
This project consisted of a four-level mixed-use developmentoverabasementcarpark.Thegroundfloorincluded commercial tenancies and car parking, while Levels 1-3 provided an expansive office space with Level 4 combining office accommodation and residential units. The constrained site posed a number of design challenges which were overcome through careful detailing and stringent site monitoring. The basement, adjacent to an existing residential building, was constructed using sheet piling and reinforced concrete retaining walls. The super structure consisted of a reinforced concrete frame with Level 3 constructed in steelwork.
