ACSES Engineers

When the shoring strategy reads every adjoining boundary before the column grid above settles, that's when you know the project's been thought through. That's the part of the job that still matters to me.

Maroubra was an eleven-storey residential frame over four basements on a corridor site, with structural, civil, and geotech all resolved from the same desks. The adjoining neighbours dictated the basement before the architectural envelope did.

AS 1726 first, then the column grid grew from there, with Sydney Water across the civil package.

That's the day the engineering shows itself.

Project: 251-257 Maroubra Road, Maroubra

Building Relationships Beyond Structures

Our project at 206-214 Railway Parade, Kogarah (The Rise).

A Sydney mixed-use development, 12 storeys above 3 basement levels, requiring full structural, civil, and geotechnical engineering, from concept through certification.

The scope our team delivered:
- Full structural design, foundations to roof
- Post-tensioned and reinforced concrete slab strategies
- Geotechnical investigation and foundation design
- Basement and retention coordinated with neighbouring properties
- Civil and stormwater under Sydney Water and council
- Construction-stage support and progressive certification
- Architect, builder, and certifier coordination from day one

12 storeys above 3 basement levels on a rail corridor in Kogarah, with Sydney Water and Transport for NSW both across the build. Each authority comes with its own technical bar, and the shoring strategy had to respect every adjoining property line below grade.

What stands at 206-214 Railway is a building. What stays is the trust we built getting there.
