Macquarie Exchange Project Stage 2 Shoring

Project Information

APG constructed the shoring piles for Stage 2 of Macquarie Exchange, Fraser Property’s landmark Macquarie Park development, described as Australia’s first Community Business District.

The Brief

Australian Piling Group (APG), alongside partner Gunlake Group, constructed the shoring piles for Stage 2 of Macquarie Exchange, a development by Frasers Property described as Australia’s first Community Business District: four integrated buildings linked by community spaces and laneways.

APG’s scope was the bored pile shoring supporting the Stage 2 works.

Technical Scope of Work

Bored Pile Shoring

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.
