ANHF Gordon experienced many challenges and obstacles during construction. Site access was very limited, with the main construction to occur behind a heritage listed residential building, which only had access in one quiet, residential street.
Additional difficulties included tree protection zones requiring the building to be completed around these zones. As well as a 10-meter-deep basement in rock to be excavated with machines operating within the stringent noise controls defined in the DA, and a full basement tanking system which was implemented during extremely wet weather.
Grindley ensured that the handover of the new Aged Care Home provides a high quality of life for its residents, staff, families, and surrounding community.
