Located on a heritage-listed dockside, Shed 21 is a storage shed adjacent to the Bolte Bridge. We completed a feasibility study to explore the possibilities for repurposing the space underneath and around the shed. The entire operation required involvement from civil, structural, MEP, ESD and hydraulic engineering teams. #Docklands #HeritageReconstruction #MelbourneDesign

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐭𝐬 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐁𝐞? Whether it’s a conventional lift, hydraulic lift, or vacuum lift, knowing the structural requirements is essential for any civil engineer! 🏗️ I've shared some break-down on the key considerations for designing lifts in buildings. Here’s what you’ll learn from it: 👉 Types of Lifts: From hydraulic to vacuum lifts, understanding the differences helps you collaborate effectively with architects and MEP consultants. 👉 Lift Pit : A proper lift pit is crucial for conventional lifts. It needs to be designed to handle lateral earth pressure and waterproofed to prevent issues. The level of the pit and base slab shall be decided in relation to foundation system of the project. 👉 Lift Machine Room: The machine room houses the lift's mechanical systems. Coordination with architects is key to ensure it fits seamlessly into the overall design. 👉 Hydraulic vs. Vacuum Lifts: Each type has unique structural implications. Hydraulic lifts may require a slab drop, while vacuum lifts are lighter and easier to install. 💡 Tip: Familiarizing yourself with these requirements will enhance your ability to design safe and efficient buildings! If you want to dive deeper into the structural requirements for lifts, 👉 Read the full blog post for detailed insights - https://lnkd.in/ggEX5cx #CivilEngineering #StructuralDesign #Lifts #BuildingDesign

Floor-by-floor deconstruction is a complex and technically challenging procedure that involves the highest degree of engineering investigation, structural testing and design throughout the planning and implementation stages. Top-down demolition is usually employed when the confines of a project site are restricted, such as inner city locations. The building is wrapped with scaffold and plastic mesh to prevent falling debris. If required, temporary works are put in place to support additional weight of plant within the building. Plant is lifted onto the roof with a crane or high lift and demolition begins from the roof down.. Buildings with party walls may require additional structual engineering or temporary works and demolition is performed with the utmost of care for residents of adjacent properties. In most cases all arisings are removed from site as the project progresses. https://bit.ly/3STGWEj

Moving a large building may seem complex, but it actually involves just a few steps. First, the builder cuts openings in the foundation and adds steel beams for support. Hydraulic jacks are placed underneath and connected to a central control system to keep the building level. Then, the building is lifted, rubber dollies are added underneath, and it slowly moves to its new spot. #civil #architect #mechanical #stuctural #electrical #mep #qualitymanagement
