Brookvale Oval Centre Of Excellence & Grandstand Foundations

Project Information

APG delivered the design and construct CFA piling for the Brookvale Oval redevelopment, the home of the mighty Manly Sea Eagles. The APG team drilled high-capacity CFA piles to depths beyond 20m for the new Centre of Excellence and grandstand.

The Brief

Australian Piling Group (APG) partnered with ADCO Constructions to deliver the foundation piling for the redevelopment of Brookvale Oval, the headquarters of the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles, including the new Centre of Excellence and grandstand.

APG’s scope was the design and construct CFA piling supporting the new structures, driven to depths greater than 20m to suit the ground conditions on site.

Technical Scope of Work

Design & Construct CFA Piles

Ground Conditions at Depth

The ground conditions on site required high-capacity CFA rigs capable of drilling beyond 20m. APG deployed its high-capacity Soilmec CFA fleet and experienced crews to reach the required depths while maintaining the speed and vibration-free installation that CFA provides.

Live Traffic & Constrained Work Areas

Works are being undertaken within busy construction zones alongside live roads and active infrastructure interfaces. APG implemented detailed traffic management, structured work staging and constant coordination with adjacent contractors to maintain the programme without compromising the surrounding road network.

Night Works Operations

Significant portions of the work are being completed during night shifts to accommodate project staging and minimise disruption to surrounding road networks. Maintaining safety standards, quality controls, and productivity during night operations required experienced crews, specialised site lighting, and tightly managed access protocols.

High-Precision Reinforcement Cage Installation

A key technical challenge involved installing reinforcement cage couplers at extremely precise positions so they align flush with future base slab connections once excavation is complete. APG implemented strict survey controls, dedicated QA processes, and experienced installation crews to consistently achieve the required tolerances.

Multi-Package Delivery

Delivering piling concurrently across three major project sections required significant resource planning, fleet management, and coordination across multiple active work fronts. APG deployed multiple 120+ tonne piling rigs alongside support cranes, concrete pumps, and experienced crews, working simultaneously across the STSP, NTNP, and Central Section packages.
