Environmental Remediation - The Environmental Remediation work at the site was successfully completed. As part of this work, approximately 2.5 meters of material was carefully excavated and removed from the site. Following completion of the excavation, 15 verification samples were collected and tested to confirm that the remaining soil meets the required environmental standards. The results confirmed that the site is clean, and ready for the next phase of construction.

Geothermal Drilling - As part of this work, 54 boreholes were drilled to a depth of approximately 870 feet below ground to support the building’s sustainable mechanical design. The geothermal loop system will use the stable temperatures below ground to help efficiently heat and cool the building, reducing reliance on conventional energy sources, and supporting the project’s overall sustainability goals.

Engineered Drill Pad - In preparation for the next phase of foundation and shoring works, the purpose-built working platform has been designed to safely support the large rotary drilling equipment required for these activities, which can exert ground pressures in excess of 200 kPa. The drill pad incorporates a geogrid reinforcement system together with approximately 600 mm of compacted Granular B stone, creating a stable and robust working surface from which the drilling operations can be safely undertaken.
