Penetron Australia selected for Chatswood Transport Interchange |
The Chatswood Transport Interchange (CTI) is being developed as part of the Epping to Chatswood Rail Line project. The Interchange, scheduled for completion 2008, is a $360 million transport and retail facility being developed in the heart of Chatswood.
The main features of the Chatswood Transport Interchange include:
- New railway station comprising two new island platforms to accommodate the existing North Shore Line and the new Epping to Chatswood Rail Line;
- Relocation and upgrade of bus interchange, taxi ranks, and kiss-and-ride spaces, to accommodate some 760 bus movements and an anticipated 100,000 commuters and general pedestrians per day;
- A convenience and food based Retail Centre of some 10,000m2 ;
- Three iconic residential towers containing 509 units with secure basement car spaces; and
- Significantly improved urban design, connectivity and accessibility through the heart of Chatswood to the surrounding residential, commercial and retail areas.
In order to effectively protect the concrete structure, Penetron Australia was selected by Laing O'Rouke, the D & C Contractor and DeMartin Gasparini, concrete placement specialists, to waterproof all below ground structures, including lift pits and tanks as well as above ground areas including suspended slabs and car park decks. To date, over 1700 cubic metres of concrete has been batched by Boral Concrete with Penetron Admix as part of the concrete mix design.
