Azzurri Concrete

Formerly the site of Channel 9’s headquarters, the new residential community, NINE by Mirvac, has been built on the solid foundations poured by Azzurri Concrete.

Initially engaged for the early works package with the civil contractor, Azzurri was later contracted to supply, pump, and place all the concrete for Stage 1, with Stage 2 as an optional extension. The team also handled temporary works engineering designs for the concrete tower placing boom and oversaw concrete mix designs.

Azzurri delivered a two-level carpark and 10 new buildings comprising 445 apartments in a controlled residential area. This included supplying, pumping, and placing 40,000m³ of concrete using four tower placing booms and a stationary boom.
“One of the standout aspects of this project was our environmentally efficient water washout system. It not only minimised wastage but also showcased our commitment to sustainable construction practices,” said Bernie Orbell, Area Manager.

Work commenced with the early works pour in October 2022 and continued until February 2023. The first major ground slab pour and first major suspended slab took place in November 2021, while the final major suspended slab, Building H Level 7, was poured in July 2023, using 225m³ of concrete.

At peak times, Azzurri had up to 30 team members on-site, increasing to 40 for double pours, with a total of 240 personnel inducted over the project’s duration. The project faced significant challenges, including managing COVID-19 restrictions and unprecedented rain disruptions, but the team overcame these hurdles through dedicated efforts and strategic planning.

Established in 2004 by a team of seasoned professionals in Sydney’s west, Azzurri Concrete consistently enhances and expands its practices to meet and exceed the rising demand for world-class quality and service within the concrete construction industry.
