CAPABILITIES

Hanssen has partnered with Finbar to deliver over 6000 apartments, across 60 projects in the last 27 years, on time, 100% completed and proudly delivered.

KEY COMPETENCIES

Piling

Experience completing secant and contiguous piling, anchoring and shotcreting.

Excavation

Use of various excavation methods including open cut, conveyor systems, top-down construction and self-tipping excavation bins.

Raft & Footings

Large concrete pours, including a 2750m3 pour, comprising of 4 concrete pumps and over 400 concrete trucks that was placed in one day. Completion of a single raft project over 5000m3, over a 6 pour sequence.

Precast and In-Situ Columns

Landing and building tens of thousands of columns of various specifications, using a reusable sustainable formwork system.

BubbleDeck Panels

Manufacture and Installation of over 500,000m² of Bubbledeck slab.

Precast Walls

Coordinating and landing over 40,000 precast elements including one project alone with more than 1500 tilt-up precast panels.

Tools and Equipment Operation

To enable efficient work and fast mobilisation, Hanssen provide a large number of high quality tools, equipment, plant and machinery. Each site has a secure store room which liaises with the head yard, minimising down time.

Fabrication Factories

  • Steel fabrication including – Structural steel, Aluminium & Stainless steel elements or artwork, CNC machine cutting.

  • Window Factory – In house fabrication and assembly ensuring quality control, coordination and delivery.

Our high standards and processes continue to result in:

  • Loyalty Club (Finbar Group) – due to happy clients and apartment owners, a referral system is in place with rewards and rebates for repeat purchasers.

  • High standard finishing systems and strict quality control audits. This resulting in, on average, very few defects reported per unit at handover.

  • Internal contractor system for plumbing, electrical and mechanical services, resulting in effective cooperation and ‘lessons learned’. Continuously improving methods, products, systems and efficiency.

  • Rapid completion made possible by effective coordination and cooperation – rather than working against each other, we choose to work together for the best outcome.

BUBBLEDECK

Hanssen was the first company to introduce and use the BubbleDeck system in Australia and New Zealand, and today uses the innovation in all of its projects.

BubbleDeck is a precast biaxial concrete floor system, which makes floor slabs lighter and stronger by incorporating large, hollow recycled plastic balls in a lattice of steel.

The system:

  • uses 30% less concrete enabling lighter structures – this allows smaller footing and raft systems, larger column spans, and no structural beams, allowing flat slab soffits and efficient services installation;

  • delivers 30% faster floor build cycles, with no form work and no beams;

  • improves logistics – offsite production, transport scheduled loads direct to site and craned directly into position;

  • minimises operating risks;

  • reduces health and safety risks; fabricating in a controlled environment reducing falsework and workers onsite.

  • uses 1kg of recycled plastic to replace 100kg of non-structural concrete, making it more environmentally friendly; and

  • provides the same structural load capacity as solid concrete slabs.
