The Barangaroo Delivery Authority has announced that Baulderstone has been selected as the preferred contractor to design and construct Barangaroo’s Headland Park.

 

The park will complete the harbour foreshore walk from Walsh Bay to Pyrmont and include six hectares of parkland, cycle ways, walking paths, sandstone rock pools and the construction of the core of a new cultural space.

 

Baulderstone’s NSW General Manager Frank Lorenzetto said the contract builds on Baulderstone’s reputation as the contractor of choice for delivering complex inner city infrastructure and building projects such as the Port Botany Expansion, the University of Sydney Law Faculty Building, the Inner West Busway, the Atrium Building at Pyrmont, the Sydney Harbour Bridge Upgrade and the Cross City Tunnel.

 

“There are very few other contractors who have genuinely top tier building, engineering and marine capacity. Baulderstone is very fortunate to have the people, skills and experience in all three of those disciplines – and this project will demand them all,” Mr. Lorenzetto said.

 

The Headland Park will become a case study for sustainable development, having been largely created from materials excavated and remediated, from the basements in Barangaroo South, and the northern cove.

 

“Baulderstone has a track record of developing new project delivery efficiencies, environmentally sustainable design, and ground-breaking construction practices and methodologies. We want to make sure that we leave a positive legacy with this project – and that’s not just in terms of the final product,” Mr. Lorenzetto concluded.
