Shoring, temporary works and retaining wall design for a steep residential site at Rouse Hill, with construction-stage support.
The project
The site at Cudgegong Road presented significant topographical constraints, with steep gradients requiring careful consideration of excavation stability and construction access.
Challenging soil conditions further increased the complexity of the works, necessitating robust temporary support solutions to manage earth pressures and maintain safety during excavation and early construction stages.
What we did
Metric Engineering designed engineered shoring solutions tailored to the site’s steep profile, ensuring excavation works could proceed safely and efficiently.
Temporary works designs were developed in conjunction with retaining wall systems, addressing soil behaviour and ground support requirements while integrating with the proposed construction methodology.
A strong emphasis was placed on constructibility and sequencing, ensuring that temporary support measures were practical to implement and aligned with staged site operations.
The project was supported by clear, construction-ready temporary works and retaining wall designs, enabling safe excavation and controlled progression of works on a constrained residential site.
Metric Engineering’s approach reduced construction risk associated with ground conditions and site slope, providing a stable and defensible temporary works solution suited to the project’s challenges.
