Large Manufacturing Facility Design > Industrial> Australia

Project Snapshot

Project type: Large manufacturing facility

Location: Australia

Client type: EPC Contractor

Structural system: Structural steel framing

Software: Tekla TSD, Ideastatica, Navisworks

Scope of work: Steel structure design, Connection design and detailing, Engineering calculations

The Challenge

  1. The facility was subject to heavy industrial loads, including equipment, services, and operational loads.
  2. Structural framing needed to remain robust without becoming overly conservative, to control steel tonnage.
  3. The EPC contractor required a design that was both code-compliant and constructible.
  4. Poor connection detailing could have led to fabrication complexity and site delays.

Our Engineering Approach

  1. We developed a robust steel framing system designed to safely accommodate heavy industrial loading.
  2. Member sizes and connection details were optimized to balance strength, serviceability, and constructability.
  3. Connection detailing was coordinated with fabrication and erection considerations to avoid site complications.
  4. The design process was aligned with EPC delivery requirements to support efficient procurement and construction.
  5. All engineering was carried out in accordance with AS 4100 and AS/NZS 1170.

Tools and Deliverables

  1. Structural design calculations demonstrating compliance and performance.
  2. Detailed structural drawings suitable for fabrication and construction.
  3. Connection design information supporting efficient erection.

Results & Value Delivered

  1. Delivered a cost-effective and buildable structural solution
  2. Reduced fabrication complexity through clear, constructible connection detailing.
  3. Supported smooth construction progress for a large industrial facility.
  4. Met all structural safety and performance requirements.

Value to the Client

  1. Delivered EPC-focused structural engineering support.
  2. Balanced heavy loading requirements with material efficiency.
  3. Reduced risk during fabrication and construction.
  4. Demonstrated strong experience in Australian industrial and manufacturing projects.
