Westfield Redevelopment
Builder: Westfield Construction
Date: 04/05/07

This project is using precast panels, concrete flooring and steel for an extension of the shopping centre, and parking lot. The redevelopment is tying in the new structure with the existing concrete structures.
Below the concrete columns with reinforcement extending from thier tops can be seen. These columns were joined to the existing structure by removing the top of the existing columns to expose the reinfrocement, then tying this reinforcement into that of the new columns.
Below, the falsework (the braced steel structure) supporting the cement floor can be seen. The falsework supports the formwork (the timbers) which frame the shape of the concrete.

Below, the reinforcement extending out of the pad footing is left bare, waiting for a strip footing and concrete columns to be constructed on top of it. The reinforcement that can be seen will be tied in with that of these elements.
