Designing a spear-pushing rig for the Transforming Arts Centre Melbourne project presented some unique engineering challenges. We needed to drive a 40m spear with a 15-ton load for foundation improvements, all within a confined underground space. Our solution? A lightweight, adaptable steel frame structure that can handle varying tilt angles and allows for easy on-site assembly. It’s fantastic to see it in action, working perfectly! Thanks to Qianhui Sherry Zhang from Gamcorp and Johnson Controls for the partnership. #engineering #problem-solving #ArtsCentreMelbourne

About us
Structural Compliance Certification If you are a manufacturer or installer of any type of support structures, you want three basic things. 1. You want to know that the structure is suitable for its intended use. 2. You want advice on how to achieve an optimal outcome. 3. You want validation via independent certification that the system is compliant with the relevant standards. You get frustrated when Engineering firms do not listen to you and your customer's needs. All you want is to be sure that your product is suitable for the solution you are selling, as you do not want to risk promising something that you cannot deliver to your customer.
