International construction giant Brookfield
Multiplex is deep in developing Australia’s
largest exclusive hotel residences, The Hilton
Surfers Paradise Hotel and Residences.
Operating under the central laid foundations
is the Bastemeyer Group, contracted to
undertake the tough application of excavating the international hotel basement.
In excavating this epic high-rise, the Bastemeyer Group has
taken on the biggest and deepest earthworks in Surfers Paradise.
The innovative construction for the fi rst upscale international hotel
to be built on the Gold Coast in over a decade is characterised by its unique method, top-down.
The application enables the
superstructure and its basement to be built simultaneously.
With the foundations and load bearing elements poured,
excavation of the basement occurs through access holes.
