Sports ground and administration facility

• Location: Nicholson Road, Canning Vale, Western Australia
• Indicative project value: $1.5 Million
• Contract source: Tender

Prominent design feature
The more unique aspects of this project included the concrete tiers for the seating and the access tunnels between dugouts and the change rooms. The baseball stadium was designed by Bateman Grundmann Wilson Architects. Gavin Construction worked closely with the architects to ensure the project proceeded without issues or delay, completing the project on time and within the clients specified budget.

Construction features
Given the topography of the site, particular attention was given to the levels of each project component requiring the construction of multiple retaining walls, stairs and ramps. One of the more challenging aspects of the structure was the underground access tunnels linking the dugouts to the change rooms, and the careful attention to drainage to prevent flooding during winter months.

Internal features
The majority of the internal areas were dedicated to public and administrative amenities that must withstand particularly high levels of use. These facilities were completed with full height wall tiling and meticulously chosen fixtures and fittings to ensure maximum durability. The quality of the finishes to these areas is of the highest standard thanks to the excellent team of finishing trades on this project. Their ability to work together and achieve a high quality finish with a tight construction program was a highlight of this project.
