Dendy Park Ground Stabilisation Stage 4 & 5

Contek was engaged by Bayside City Council to consolidate and re-construct a 2.7ha area of  sportsfield in Dendy Park, Brighton. Built on a former landfill site, the sports grounds that had come to occupy Dendy Park had become uneven and dangerous due the ground sinking as it was built on a former landfill.
By utilising advanced Rapid Impact Compaction techniques, followed by ripping, shaping and rolling, Contek was able to achieve consolidation of the grounds and a stable platform to build off. Contek installed a network of subsoil drains and accompanying connections as well as a significant Irrigation system connected to existing irrigation infrastructure. Two turf wicket tables and one concrete  cricket pitch were installed with a highly specified growing media spread across the site and instant turf installed.
Due to the vibration and noise caused by the RIC machine, Contek and council worked closely with neighbouring residents and stakeholders to ensure that the activity was completed harmoniously and without damage to neighbouring properties.
Additionally, large sewer and stormwater drains were present throughout the site which Contek worked conscientiously to protect. This was carried out with the use of exclusion zones and state of the art vibration monitoring.
