Service

AT&L was engaged by FDC Construction and Fitout to provide civil engineering, stormwater design, flood management advice and construction-phase services. Working closely with the project team, AT&L delivered practical engineering solutions that resolved challenges within the original design while maintaining project objectives, improving constructability and supporting successful project delivery. 

Project Overview

Eastern Creek Industry Park is a 26.7-hectare industrial and logistics precinct in Western Sydney, strategically located on Archbold Road with direct access to major road networks and close proximity to the future Western Sydney International Airport. Designed to accommodate a diverse range of logistics, manufacturing, distribution and e-commerce operators, the development delivers flexible, high-specification warehouse facilities supported by integrated transport, utility and stormwater infrastructure. Sustainability was a key focus, with the precinct achieving 5-Star Green Star Buildings v1 certification and incorporating solar energy, water recycling and environmental regeneration initiatives. 

Project highlights include: 

  • 26.7-hectare industrial and logistics estate.
  • Flexible warehouse opportunities ranging from 4,200sqm to 20,750sqm. 
  • Strategic location with access to major Western Sydney transport corridors. 
  • Proximity to the future Western Sydney International Airport. 
  • High-specification warehousing supporting 24/7 operations. 
  • 5-Star Green Star Buildings v1 certification. 
  • Sustainable design incorporating solar energy, water recycling and bushland regeneration. 

AT&L’s Role & Key Infrastructure Features

AT&L provided end-to-end civil engineering, project management and superintendent services, acting as lead civil consultant from detailed design and approvals through to construction delivery and contract administration. The team coordinated a multidisciplinary consultant group, managed authority approvals, delivered construction-ready civil infrastructure designs, oversaw procurement and tender processes, and provided superintendent services throughout construction. 

Scope included: 

  • Detailed civil engineering design and documentation. 
  • Subdivision Works Certificate (SWC) and Construction Certificate approvals. 
  • Section 138 road works approvals. 
  • Project management and authority coordination. 
  • Utility and stakeholder coordination. 
  • Tender management and contractor procurement. 
  • Superintendent and contract administration services. 
  • TfNSW Major Works Authorisation Deed (WAD) design services for Archbold Road bridge works. 

Key infrastructure features: 

  • Internal subdivision infrastructure, including roads, pavements, earthworks, retaining walls and stormwater drainage. 
  • Archbold Road widening, reconstruction and connectivity upgrades. 
  • Regional Quarry Catchment Basin providing flood mitigation, detention and water quality treatment. 
  • Utility servicing and coordination across the precinct. 
  • Archbold Road bridge barrier upgrade and associated structural works. 

Design Innovations That Reduced Disruption

The scale of the development required the integration of complex transport, utility and stormwater infrastructure while maintaining programme certainty and supporting future development outcomes across the precinct. 

Design innovations included: 

  • Development of a regional catchment basin that enabled future lots to drain to a centralised stormwater asset rather than requiring individual on-site detention systems. 
  • Environmentally sensitive rehabilitation of the C2 conservation area to balance development and ecological outcomes. 
  • Fauna-friendly culvert crossings beneath Archbold Road, allowing wildlife movement through the corridor. 
  • Integration of guardrails and crash barriers within retaining wall designs to improve efficiency and reduce infrastructure footprints. 
  • A bespoke bridge barrier fixing solution for the Archbold Road bridge upgrade, developed to overcome existing bridge width constraints while achieving TfNSW compliance. 

AT&L successfully delivered the civil infrastructure, approvals and stakeholder coordination required to facilitate the development of a major industrial precinct. The project established the transport, servicing and stormwater infrastructure needed to support both the immediate development and future growth within the surrounding catchment.
