What we did

pitt&sherry delivered detailed assessment and design services to support deconstruction of a partially failing convict-constructed retaining wall with vulnerable infrastructure and dwellings above a popular tourist destination.

Our team supervised deconstruction, designed supporting structures and bespoke temporary construction equipment to safely remediate the site and manage sensitive structures. 

Ongoing constant live monitoring enabled triggers and immediate responses to movement detected during the operations.
