Description of services
The developments included 136 residential units spread across 6 buildings and 4 blocks. The development included two basements, each shared by three buildings and across two blocks. The waste strategy was highly technical with many aspects of the TCCS Waste Code being unachievable, resulting in ongoing discussions and out of the box solutions to gain TCCS endorsement.

Description of services
A partially subterranean 5 storey development, expanding up to 12meters underground – The Canberra Grammar Auditorium and Music centre includes a new library and music rooms, classrooms and a 1,300 seat acoustically tuned music auditorium. The development interconnects with the existing breezeway and forecourt of the school’s heritage Quadrangle. This project was constrained by the existing heritage building, immediately adjacent the proposed auditorium whilst providing access for construction.
The team had to overcome many unique challenges in delivering this project. From long-span steel trusses over the auditorium, which support a terrace and planting over, to cantilevered steel framed bleacher and auditorium seating which had to be carefully analysed to avoid footfall-induced vibration issues, Sellick ensured the right solution was used in the right place. The heritage-listed school buildings next to the construction needed careful shoring design to ensure ground movements were minimal while the auditorium was excavated, and suspended concrete roof slabs were optimised to minimise the risk of cracking and any water ingress issues, including the use of low carbon, low shrinkage Envisia concrete.
Ground water was a major concern from the beginning of the project, a comprehensive design was developed to manage the constant ground water inflow with emergency pump chambers and back-up generator connection, should a power failure occurring during a storm event to prevent the lower levels of the theatre flooding. Podium level and roof level above the practice rooms and main theatre required high attention in detail to ensure the water proofing and water shedding design worked flawlessly.

There are also 2 levels of commercial space on Ground and Mezzanine levels with communal landscaped areas.
The design comprised of a complicated onsite waste collection strategy utilising joint access easements between the neighbouring Creswell Apartments in this development and raised ramp access to the ground flood parking to protect the development from potential flooding along Constitution Avenue. Access to the basement levels of parking is obtained through the neighbouring Creswell Apartments.

Design and document a new car park to offset the lost carpark as a result of the construction of the Integrated Cancer Centre. The new carpark is to be known as Carpark 28.
The design of the carpark was to service approximately 100spaces on the edge of the existing UC oval. The level constraints required the implementation of retaining walls between parking bays to accommodate the level difference. Gabion baskets were adopted as the retaining solution to act as both vehicle barrier and retaining solution.
During construction it was observed that the existing ground condition were not of an optimal type and thus a solution was required to enable continuation of the car park with significant delay and cost implication. A stabilised pavement was elected and implemented to bridge the unsuitable materials.

Design documentation for a 127 blocks residential subdivision on the Carotel site in Watson ACT and the Superintendence of the construction phase.
The services also included full project management of all sub-consultants to deliver the subdivision on behalf of the client.
Of note are the central park area and the central loop road. The Central park provides a community use area incorporating existing vegetation and landscaping. While the surrounding road has been constructed of concrete with quartz and black aggregate. In addition to a landscape concrete interlocking paving is provided within the parking areas and interlocking permeable paving to provide additional watering to landscaped areas.
During the construction the history of the site was exposed as significantly historical inground services were exposed during the excavation for new inground services, all of which added additional cost and time to the project. Additionally a water quality pond has been constructed to filter the stormwater prior to releasing it into the downstream network.
Upon completion of the construction phase the project was successfully handed over to the ACT Government.

As principle structural engineers on the project, Sellick Consultants were engaged to undertake concept design through to final design and documentation for the full project; including concrete slabs, structural steelwork, precast walls and blockwork walls.
The project consisted of approx. 27,000m2of internal slab on-grade, with structural steel to support the roof and walls. The external cladding comprised of Kingspan isolated panels.
A requirement from IKEA was that the slabs were to be of very high quality which required Sellick Consultants to have exceptional design and detailing of peer reinforcement to help control shrinkage cracking and allow a high quality burnished finish. To assist with this quality, the roofing and walls were installed prior to concreting to protect the concrete finish.
Regarding the steelwork and cladding elements, options were investigated and incorporated to minimise the variances in flashing details; while still achieving the required look for IKEA.
