Maitland Regional Athletics Centre
In 2023, BG&E undertook structural and civil design from tender to construction stage for the new amenities building at the Maitland Regional Athletics Centre.
The structural design included
- A suspended slab on the ground, supported on timber driven piles due to the deep fill in the Maitland area.
- Load bearing masonry walls supporting a suspended RC concrete roof, which was also designed as a trafficable viewing platform for the sports field.
- A new eight metre high and 10 metre wide LED lighting base-cantilevered score board structure.
The civil engineering design included
- Drainage design from the new amenities building to the existing storm water pits.
- Cut/fill optimisation.
- A new footpath design surrounding the sports field.
