As the Parramatta Eels’ long-awaited Centre of Excellence took shape, the structural integrity and performance of the facility were critical. That’s where Concrete Engineering Solutions (CES) came in—delivering precision-engineered, post-tensioned concrete systems to support the elite training complex’s bold architectural and performance ambitions.
“CES was engaged to supply and install the post-tensioned tendons across the Centre,” said Burhan Vandeliwala, Operations Director. “Our work was essential in achieving the wide spans and reduced slab depths required for spaces like the gymnasium and multipurpose zones.”
The team’s scope included the placement, stressing, and grouting of tendons, which enhanced structural performance while improving material efficiency. This approach reduced the concrete volume and steel reinforcement required—lowering the environmental footprint.
Complexities were part of the job, with high-load areas needing tailored solutions. “We worked closely with the structural team to refine the tendon layout and sequence,” Burhan noted. “Our in-house design and engineering capabilities allowed us to respond quickly to evolving site demands.”
In areas where exposed concrete aesthetics mattered, CES introduced innovative solutions—such as recessing grout holes and minimising visual impact while maintaining full structural function. “Our focus was precision and quality,” added Burhan. “From updated shop drawings to calibrated stressing and grouting under tight quality control, every step was managed to exceed expectations.”
“The Centre of Excellence showcases our ability to deliver complex, high-performance concrete systems where durability, sustainability, and structural excellence intersect,” said Burhan.
Our expertise extends beyond post-tensioned slabs. We also offer bespoke solutions for adaptive re-use projects and structural modifications—each requiring the same precision and engineering excellence that we demonstrated on this project.
With this project, Concrete Engineering Solutions reaffirmed its role as a leader in post-tensioned concrete and structural engineering—supporting not just buildings, but the future of elite Australian sport.
