Project overview
A staged response to a damaged support location
SCE managed the structural repair at a school on Longueville Road, Lane Cove. The team separated the work area from school access and coordinated the temporary support, demolition, reconstruction and reinstatement around the active school setting.

Construction sequence
From temporary support to reinstatement
SCE sequenced the temporary works and permanent repairs to maintain support during removal and reconstruction.
1
Temporary support
Temporary supports were installed before removal work at the damaged pier location.
2
Controlled removal
SCE removed the damaged brick pier within the separated work area after establishing temporary support.
3
Replacement construction
SCE constructed the replacement brick pier and formed the connection to the existing column.
4
Associated reinstatement
SCE completed shingle repairs, painting and finishing to the affected building elements.
Active-site coordination
Working around an occupied school setting
SCE fenced the work area, separated construction from pedestrian access and staged the activities around school operations. Regular coordination supported access, material handling and the repair sequence.
The project brought together temporary support, masonry reconstruction and finishing within an occupied school environment. SCE applies its engineering and building experience to assess each new site and plan the temporary works, technical inputs and construction sequence.
