Project Overview

Ardreagh Formwork was engaged to deliver the formwork and reinforcement package for the Tailor Apartments project in West Melbourne. The development consists of 5 above-ground levels and contributes to the continued residential growth of Melbourne’s inner-city areas. Our team managed the full vertical and horizontal formwork systems, along with reinforcement installation for all structural elements. Works were delivered efficiently and in line with the builder’s programme, maintaining high standards of safety, quality, and coordination throughout the build. This project reflects Ardreagh’s capability in delivering complete formwork and reinforcement solutions for medium-rise residential developments across metropolitan Melbourne.

Scope of Works Highlights

Our team delivered structural solutions across the entire development, including:

  • Formwork: 3,300m² of suspended slab formwork installed
  • Reinforcement: 100 tonnes of steel reinforcement supplied and fixed
  • Stair Installation: 7 insitu stair flights formed and placed

Challenges & Innovations

The Tailor Apartments project presented logistical challenges typical of tight inner-city sites, including limited laydown space and restricted access for deliveries. Ardreagh responded with a carefully phased sequencing strategy, ensuring materials and equipment were timed precisely with the build schedule to minimise site congestion. To accelerate progress across the 7-storey structure, we implemented modular formwork systems that allowed for faster setup and reduced manual handling. Through early planning and consistent coordination with the site team, we maintained programme alignment while upholding our quality and safety benchmarks.

Project: Metro Tunnel Project Flinders OSD
Client: Cross Yarra Partnership (CYP)
Location: Melbourne CBD

Program Duration: 18 Months

A major component of the new Metro Tunnel project involves the build out of the CBD South Precinct. Our team at Flinders St. has been busy constructing the structure of Shaft A and B, which extends from 40 meters below ground level up to the surface. Due to the site constraints in Melbourne CBD, a significant amount of detailed engineering & planning was necessary to manage logistics and meet the project program. At our warehouse facility in Laverton North we have been prefabricating engineered formwork systems, which are delivered to the CBD site precisely when needed. They are lifted directly from the semi deliveries and lowered into the shaft where they are placed straight into the set-out position. This approach is something we have been implementing on all sites. It enhances safety (reduced working at heights), enables an accelerated program, and saves crucial space onsite. The area of shaft A & B extends over 2,500m2 and extends over 5 levels. The works consist of base slabs, 9m high columns & walls, 10m high suspended structural slabs, arches and plunge column infills
