Mayflower Aged Care – Reservoir
The new two-storey building at the Mayflower Aged Care facility in Reservoir was delivered to more than double the residential capacity to 110 residents. Miglic MacLeod was engaged to provide the engineering design and construction stage consultancy services for the new aged care project in Reservoir.
Miglic MacLeod worked with the client to conduct and refine the design with a rigorous value management approach. The project was to be undertaken while allowing the existing facility to remain operational, which posed several challenges to ensure that the impact on residents was minimised.
Our engineers worked with project manager Connect PM and CHC Architects to design a robust steel framed structure that could be easily adapted for any future changes in planning and architecture. A Condeck slab was integrated with the steel structure for cost-effective and efficient construction.
The demolition of the existing buildings was planned in two phases so there would be at least one functional building to house residents. Our design solution also allowed the integrity of the civil structures to be preserved throughout the demolition and construction.
The overall structural system included:
- Steel framed structure
- Condeck slab for the first floor
- Precast panels for lifts and stairwell core
- Timber truss roof.
Our civil engineering design works included:
- Carpark and pavements
- Stormwater drainage infrastructure
- Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD).
Miglic MacLeod’s responsiveness and innovation helped our clients to achieve an efficient, optimised solution to a challenging project. We helped our clients to achieve major works within budget while remaining operational and with minimised impact on residents.
