| Abstract: |
Sometimes the strategic location of a site in the centre of a city and the potential of creating a valuable asset allows engineering challenges to be undertaken that would normally be discarded due to cost, complexity and risk. On Westfield Sydney, we have been fortunate to achieve our client’s vision through innovative engineering solutions whilst ensuring the sequence of construction maintained the Sydney Tower in a safe and stable condition at all times. To validate this process a real-time monitoring and warning system was developed that measured structural movement against accurately predicted movement based on environmental conditions at that time. |
