truss retaining structure

Several of the 'strings to the bow' in action here: Condition surveying & Investigation; brickwork remediation inc. wall ties & strengthening, coating removal, concrete repairs and sealants, to name but a few!

251m cantilever flight over the Tasman Sea. #inktoberBridges2024 Sydney Harbour Bridge, 502m span, Dorman Long & Co, 1932 The large depth of the truss arch allows for cantilevered construction with no need for temporary stays or towers. During construction, the upper chord is extended with tension beams to fix the semi-arches. When the arch is complete, it is released to form a two-hinged arch. #bridges #inktober #civilengineeering #bridgedesign

Nearly ten years have passed since Lacrosse: some jurisdictions have quickly responded to address the combustible cladding crisis, putting in place extensive cladding remediation initiatives, while other jurisdictions have taken longer to react.

When I first started working at ASFD | Engineered Design in 2021 I worked on this project, and it is finally coming together. Kudos to everyone involved! As part of my role, I created a logistics report using Revit to plan the storage and transportation of all the unitized panels. By anticipating potential issues on the job site and developing solutions beforehand, we were able to avoid delays. ASFD is incredibly innovative in their utilization of BIM. Have you explored any unconventional applications of Revit? #architecture #buildinginformationmodeling #bim #teameffort

*** THROWBACK THURSDAY *** As we're in the thick of industry awards season, we thought we'd look back on a previously nominated project - Cumberland Place, a #student #accommodation block in #southampton, consisting of Gebrik #brickslip #cladding, Metal Technology Ltd windows, louvers, curtain walling, aluminium composite panels and PPC aluminium. Completed in 2018, this 12 storey building is a fantastic example of industry collaboration, teamwork, resilience and client-centric thinking. It was not without its complications though! T&T Facades was awarded the contract just prior to the Grenfell tragedy. Having already submitted a fully compliant and tested solution, post Grenfell every aspect of the project went under intense scrutiny, resulting in a total re-evaluation of the specifications on every element of the cladding build-up, also needing to anticipate likely legislation and regulatory changes. The result though is a fantastic looking building which continues to serve the student community throughout Southampton. https://lnkd.in/fPNrt-c #cladding #facades #curtainwalling #buildingenvelope #architecture #residential #newbuild #highrise #noncombustible #studentaccommodation #loveconstruction

Attention Real Estate Professionals, Have you ever wondered why a building's window glass and precast surfaces get so stained despite industry-standard regular maintenance? We just made a video that explains all the issues in detail. Using Presto's revolutionary products and new and improved service techniques, buildings can not only remove these unsightly stains but also prevent them from returning. Just think of the savings over a 10-year period by eliminating unnecessary restoration and the increased revenue from new leases and retaining existing ones.
