Top Down ConsTruCTion

ONE ONE ONE EAGLE STREET

one one one Eagle street project will accommodate over 62,500m2 of premium Grade office space across 44 levels, designed to reinforce the premium office identity of the riverside precinct. The tower will be constructed using a Top Down construction method.

whaT is Top Down ConsTruCTion?

The top-down method of construction enables a highrise superstructure and its sub-basement to be built simultaneously. The method involves the installation of deep foundation systems i.e. plunge columns for the main structural core of the tower and the perimeter Diaphragm wall. once the deep foundations and ground slab are complete, the entire basement is excavated in sequence to the lowest basement floor whilst the above ground tower structure is constructed from the ground floor towards the roof. once the excavation is complete, the 6 levels of basement slabs will then be constructed in the conventional manner to the ground floor. For further information, please refer to the Diaphragm Wall Installation Fact Sheet.

whaT arE ThE BEnEfiTs of This mEThoD?

The top-down construction method enables work to be undertaken above ground while excavating underground. not only does this method shorten the construction schedule but it also minimises associated construction impacts on the community. Emissions of underground work, such as noise and dust, are localised and managed within the basement levels, as the ground floor concrete slab provides a barrier both acoustically and physically.
