MGP were involved with three projects at Kincoppal School, Rose Bay, involving civil, mechanical, electrical and hydraulic design.
The first involved the refurbishment of the Junior School Administration area. The existing mechanical, electrical and hydraulic systems were upgraded to suit the new floor plan. An extension of the existing fire hydrant system, and the inclusion of a fire hydrant pump were incorporated within the design to meet code requirements.
The second project involved the development of the old 25m swimming pool, transforming this area into a deck and amphitheatre.
The third, and largest of the projects, is the development of a new Year 12 Learning Hub. Designed by BVN Architects, the existing gymnasium will be transformed into a multi level-learning hub within the existing structure. MGP designing the civil, mechanical, electrical and hydraulic requirements of the new hub, utilising the existing infrastructure to offer the state of the art facilities at the school.

The Roundhouse at UNSW has for many, many years been an iconic location at the heart of the university campus. Back in 2016 the building needed an extensive renovation and refurbishment. Whilst the character and uniqueness of the space was to be retained a significant upgraded was needed both internally and externally.
MGP worked on the hydraulic workshop drawings and trade waste design for the newly renovated UNSW Roundhouse. The upgrade in facilities included student lounges, main event space, bar, bistro, function rooms and meeting spaces.
Important to the project was maintaining the integrity of the building whilst modernising the outdated facilities. MGP were briefed, and successfully delivered, a significant increase in the capacity of the kitchen, enabling this facility to cater for large scale events into the future.
Project completed in mid 2017.

University of Sydney - Life, Earth & Environmental Sciences Facility
MGP were excited to be part of the team that worked on the construction of the new Life, Earth and Environmental Sciences facility at the University of Sydney. The nature of the building and the Science facility provides an opportunity for the construction team to use materials and systems that are sustainable and have a minimal impact on the environment.
From a hydraulic perspective not only will materials be carefully selected but the multiple water systems involved; supplying drinking water, non drinking water, will also include reverse and flow osmosis technology for pure water for the research laboratories. Lab waste will require a specialised drainage system involving pre-treatment before entering the main Sydney Water system. MGP also proposed symphonic drainage as this system provides flexibility as it doesn’t have the constraints associated with a proprietary system and its associated costs.
MGP designed the fire hydrant, hose reel and storage, ensuring they comply with the National Construction Code of Australia (NCC).

At the western edge of Sydney’s central business district, Barangaroo spans 22 hectares along Sydney’s remarkable harbour.
Barangaroo South is an urban regeneration project located on the last major waterfront site in the Sydney central business district (CBD). At completion it will include three major office buildings, 800 residential apartments and a world class hotel situated next to waterfront parklands.
Each tower is designed to take advantage of the outstanding harbour-front location, to achieve 6 Star Green Star Design ratings and target 5 Star NABERS Energy and Water ratings.
MGP are proud to have worked with the team at Lendlease, Boone and Willard Plumbing, RPBW and PTW Architects on One Sydney Harbour.
MGP completed the detailed hydraulic design services for these benchmark luxury apartments and two penthouses, the Sky Homes.
Working closely with the team, not only did we ensure that the design provides effective and efficient services to the tower, but also that the top of the range products selected by the architects and builder deliver an outstanding service. A reflection of this striking waterfront residential tower that offers a new benchmark in luxury living.

The redevelopment of the Harbord Diggers on the Northern Beaches provided MGP with the opportunity to develop the hydraulic design for construction, along with processing the Sydney Water Building Plan Approval and Section 73 application.
This large multi dwelling and commercial site offers 96 units, speciality retail outlets, Club, indoor pool and gym, along with extensive underground parking.
The complexities of the site arose from designing and constructing the new services while working around a temporary Club still in operation.
The existing infrastructure was not sufficient to meet the demands of the new buildings notably that of water supply for drinking and fire fighting purposes. As such MGP designed water tanks which work specifically to supplement the authority water main, without putting stress on their existing infrastructure. The design enables this large commercial and residential site to have no impact on the local authority services, and provides efficient and effective amenities to the site.

The development of Sydney’s CBD continues to provide the MGP Sydney Water team with interesting site specific challenges. These include dealing with heritage and oversized critical assets that require protection, whilst enabling new developments to be constructed and the CBD to grow.
MGP designed the Sydney Water infrastructure for the development of Pitt Street metro station.
The project involved a detailed major works design, building plan approval over/near heritage assets, tunnelling, deep basement excavations and anchoring.
Site challenges/solutions: Heritage assets surrounding the development needed to be protected from the construction works such as tunnelling, deep basement excavations and anchoring, our building plan approval assessment ensured all the supportive design documentation and correct construction approach was taken to ensure these risks were mitigated.
Additionally, the new Pitt Street Station will require construction work at each underground station entry, with the construction implemented in two (2) stages. MGP managed five (5) Development Applications with Sydney Water to attain the required certificates, approvals and protect the assets at each stage accordingly.
This in depth approval and connection schedule was implemented to ensure a successful delivery of the project.
