A public playground at Wilson Park, built around established gum trees.
Mature trees and new footings don't usually get along. Concrete footings mean post holes, spoil, and an excavator working inside the root zone — exactly where you don't want one if the trees are staying.
This site went in differently. Galvanised steel pile caps, set out around the canopies and driven on multi-directional micropiles. No excavation. No spoil to cart off. No concrete truck on a public reserve. The caps take load the moment they're in, so the structure goes up the same day, and each one adjusts for plumb and level on uneven ground.
The footings are engineered to Australian Standards, with BCA-compliant computations provided by a registered engineer.
For councils and builders working in tree-protection zones, heritage landscapes or anywhere a dig is a problem, that's the whole point: a structural footing that leaves the ground — and the roots — largely as it found them.
