Project Overview
Cornerstone Boulder Walls was engaged by RDS Civil, the major contractor, to construct a random sandstone retaining wall for the expansion of staff car parking at the Amazon Delivery Station in Heathwood. This commercial project transformed underutilised lower-level space into functional parking while providing essential structural support.
Project Details
Location: Amazon Delivery Station, Heathwood, Brisbane
Client: RDS Civil (Major Contractor)
Project Type: Commercial retaining wall construction
Application: Staff car park expansion
Materials: Random sandstone
The Challenge
The Amazon Delivery Station in Heathwood required additional staff car parking to support facility operations. An available space on the lower side of the site presented the ideal solution, but the site’s elevation difference meant significant excavation work would be required.
The project challenges included:
- Managing substantial excavation on the lower side of the existing facility
- Constructing a retaining wall capable of supporting the height difference and parking loads
- Meeting commercial building standards and engineering requirements
- Coordinating with RDS Civil and other trades on an active commercial site
Working closely with RDS Civil, we constructed a random sandstone retaining wall that transformed the excavated lower-level area into a stable, functional car park.
The random placement of the sandstone creates an organic, natural appearance that enhances the commercial landscape while providing the structural integrity essential for this application.
Construction Process
Our experienced team managed the retaining wall construction, working in close coordination with RDS Civil:
- Site assessment and engineering compliance
- Foundation preparation following excavation
- Structural calculations and quality assurance
- Precise stone selection and placement for optimal strength and appearance
- Integration with car park civil works and drainage
- Ongoing coordination with RDS Civil and other project stakeholders
- Adherence to commercial site safety protocols
The Result
The completed retaining wall successfully transformed the lower-level space into functional staff car parking, meeting the Amazon Delivery Station’s operational needs. The random sandstone construction provides a natural, attractive boundary that contrasts beautifully with the modern facility architecture.
