The podium is complete, and we are on the way up!
We broke records repeatedly at ONE Apartments to complete the level 4 podium, also known as the transfer slab, marking a major milestone for GWH, and for the team.
The transfer slab is designed to shift the load of the two towers above it and is crucial as it picks up the loads of both towers, transferring the structural load down into the columns, footings, and pilings. The 850mm thick slab was poured in four sections and took several weeks to complete.
Covering 2,500 square meters with over 200 tonnes of steel and around 2,000 cubic meters of concrete, the largest of the four pours involved over 800 cubic meters of concrete, equivalent to around 120 concrete truck deliveries. Each pour took approximately 8-10 hours, totalling around 40 hours of pouring with over 50 team members each time.
Hear from Project Manager, Bradley Aldous about what is happening onsite at 1 National Park Street, Newcastle.
Below the podium on levels 1,2, and 3, apartments are being formed. Frames are going up, plaster sheeting installed, and roughing-in is underway. This term is used to describe bringing in ductwork, plumbing, and electrical wiring. Final connections are not made until other stages of the project are completed.

WHAT'S COMING UP NEXT ONSITE:
With over 100 workers on site every day, there is a hive of activity. Teams includes structural specialists such as steel fixers, post tension installers, concreters, form workers, concrete pumpers, and finishing trades like carpenters, electricians, plumbers, fire sprinkler installers, and mechanical experts. The completion of the podium milestone has energised the entire workforce, and we are all eagerly looking forward to the next stages of construction.
