The current dry weather has allowed the builders to make up for some lost time from when it rained continuously at the beginning of the project. It’s always an exciting stage of construction when the steel framework starts to go up.
Did you know?
- There were 58 truck-loads of concrete (350m3) delivered to the site for the pouring of the ground floor slab.
- The steel frame was delivered on 9 semi-trailers and weighs approximately 200 tonne.
- The sub-surface drainage and irrigation system for the new athletics track and AFL oval will consist of over 15 kilometres of 50mm poly pipe.
- The re-cycle irrigation system is designed to drain and filter the irrigation water back into a 165,000 litre underground storage tank ready to use again.
- Approx. 23,000 m2 of Premium grade “Gully Gold” Couch will be laid in November and ready to play on in Term 1 2018.
Exciting times at the College . . . 'it's about their future'.
