Pacific Golf Club, Carindale

Inertia was engaged to provide structural advice for the 1.5-hectare development site interfacing with the existing picturesque Pacific Golf Club in Carindale. This project comprises of a new clubhouse, multistorey carpark and seven new independent living unit blocks constructed across three stages. All set within landscaped common areas, the members and residents will enjoy new clubhouse amenities such as indoor swimming pools, a cinema, bars and health and wellness centers.

The key challenge our engineers faced was ensuring works were staged in a way that the existing clubhouse amenities and car park allotments remain fully accessible and functional throughout construction. Being a sloping site with deep excavations along existing boundaries and level differences, has meant some unique structural solutions have been adopted to allow future stages to be seamlessly integrated.

As an engineering firm, our commitment to understanding stakeholder needs has meant that these complications have not limited the project design outcomes or the client’s desires. It has been a pleasure working with Minicon Construction and ThinkTank Architects on this interesting development.
