Victoria University Tower - $220 Million Project

Cold Monday morning visit to VU Tower construction site. As of 27 May 2019, the site is in basement construction stage. Basement comprises of soldier piles and shotcrete wall. Various challenges can be seen here as adjoining buildings are all built up to the site boundary.
