Construction activity
Powerhouse Parramatta is one of the largest structural engineering and architecturally complex projects underway in Australia and an impressive example of design excellence.
Australian-based company Lendlease Construction are managing the construction of the Parramatta Powerhouse project. Lendlease has previously worked with the NSW Government to deliver world-class infrastructure projects.

Special features and fun facts
One of the 3 tower cranes commissioned for the project is the world’s largest capacity tower crane. The Favelle Favco M2480D is as tall as a 50-storey building and can lift 330 tonnes in a single lift.
Around 35,000 tonnes of soil have been moved off site. That’s the equivalent to approximately 14 Olympic-sized swimming pools full of soil.
Powerhouse Parramatta will be built with an estimated 12,000 tonnes of structural steel, which is triple the amount of steel used to build the new Allianz Stadium.
230 piles have been drilled and installed. Piles are underground reinforced concrete columns that provide vertical and horizontal support to a structure.
