The Fairwater development in Blacktown, NSW, is one of the largest residential projects in the region, with approximately 1,100 homes planned. This ambitious project was originally led by Australand Property Group and is now under Frasers Property Australia. As the development progresses rapidly, Ideal Foundations is proud to play a vital role by providing screw piling solutions to establish strong and stable foundations for this large-scale housing project.
Our involvement in Fairwater began in May 2014, when we collaborated with Australand on the foundation work for the amenities building. Given the scale and soil conditions of the site, Ideal Foundations worked closely with engineers to develop a fixed-price screw piling solution, ensuring:
✔ Cost certainty, preventing unexpected price increases.
✔ Streamlined foundation installation, keeping the project on schedule.
✔ Efficient piling solutions, adapted to the site’s unique soil challenges.
As the project transitioned under the Frasers Property Australia brand, our team continued to play a crucial role. Today, Ideal Foundations is in full swing installing screw piles, providing fast, efficient, and reliable foundation solutions to support this growing residential community.
This project required foundations that could handle the region’s diverse soil conditions while offering efficiency and long-term stability. Screw piles were the ideal solution due to several advantages:
Traditional concrete foundations require excavation, formwork, and curing, which can cause delays. Screw piers, on the other hand, are installed rapidly and provide immediate load-bearing capacity, allowing builders to proceed without waiting. This efficiency is crucial for a large-scale development like Fairwater, where timely project completion is a priority.
Excavation for traditional footings generates large volumes of spoil, requiring costly removal and disposal. Screw piles eliminate the need for excessive excavation, significantly reducing:
The Fairwater development is built on varied and reactive soil conditions, which can lead to foundation movement, cracking, and instability if not managed properly. Screw piers provide:
For a project of this scale, financial predictability is essential. By choosing screw piling, Frasers Property Australia benefits from:
As construction at Fairwater continues, Ideal Foundations remains committed to supporting Frasers Property Australia in delivering high-quality housing for the growing Blacktown community. Our screw piling solutions ensure that each of the 1,100 homes will stand on strong, stable, and long-lasting foundations.
