Ground Science has played a pivotal role in the redevelopment of the new home of cricket at the Junction Oval, providing specialist advice and services for the base preparation of this prestigious project. The redevelopment posed unique challenges due to the complex conditions of the base soils at the site. Given the scale of the work and the importance of creating a stable foundation, our team had to devise innovative solutions to ensure the project’s success.
Addressing Challenging Soil Conditions
During the redevelopment, we encountered challenging soil conditions that required thorough analysis and treatment. Soil stabilisation was critical to progressing the works efficiently. Our team considered a range of mix designs to stabilise the subgrade soils, ensuring a suitable foundation for the cricket pitch and surrounding areas was achieved. Our extensive experience in sports field profile design, particularly with perched water table designs, was key to developing a tailored solution that met the unique requirements of this project.
Expertise in Sports Field Construction
Ground Science has a deep understanding of both natural turf and synthetic field construction. We recognise the complexities of soil behaviour in sports environments and how factors like drainage, soil composition, and stability play crucial roles in the longevity and performance of sports fields. By leveraging our knowledge in soil mechanics and field construction, we were able to create a durable and cost-effective solution for the Junction Oval.
Cost-Effective and Sustainable Solutions
Whether the project involves building a natural turf or a synthetic field, Ground Science approaches each challenge with a focus on creating long-lasting, cost-effective solutions. For the Junction Oval redevelopment, we utilised soil stabilisation techniques that not only improved the soil structure but also reduced the need for excessive material import, resulting in a more sustainable construction process.
