Somerset at Burswood Point

As part of our ongoing commitment to delivering efficient, buildable and commercially focused engineering solutions, Hera Engineering is proud to be involved in Somerset at Burswood Point, a major riverside residential development now taking shape on the Burswood Peninsula.

The development comprises two residential towers of 26 and 18 storeys, contributing to the continued transformation of the riverside precinct into a vibrant residential destination. Designed in collaboration with DKO Architecture and delivered by Golden Sedayu Construction (GSC), the project reflects a high-quality architectural vision supported by practical and efficient structural engineering outcomes.

Hera’s structural design approach has focused on improving buildability, reducing construction complexity and supporting efficient delivery from the earliest stages of the project. The towers feature post-tensioned floor slabs, providing an efficient structural solution that supports the architectural intent while contributing to construction efficiency across the residential levels.

The site presented several engineering challenges, including complex geotechnical conditions. In response, Hera developed an innovative monopile solution that eliminated the need for pile caps throughout the project. This streamlined the inground works and enabled the builder to progress out of the ground more efficiently.

Through careful structural planning during the early concept phase, Hera also removed the need for transfer structures throughout the development. This approach significantly reduced construction costs and program duration, while simplifying the overall structural system and improving buildability.

Somerset at Burswood Point highlights Hera’s commitment to delivering innovative, efficient and construction-focused engineering solutions for complex residential developments, supporting high-quality outcomes for clients, builders and future residents.
