Large Facility Design > Commercial> Australia

Project Snapshot

Project type: Large commercial facility

Location: Australia

Client type: Developer

Structural system: Structural steel framing system

Software: Tekla TSD, Ideastatica, Navisworks, SAP2000

Scope of work: Structural steel design, Connection design, Engineering calculations and documentation

The Challenge

  1. The facility had a large structural footprint, increasing coordination complexity across multiple zones.
  2. Structural framing needed to align with architectural layouts and services integration.
  3. Material efficiency was important to control cost without compromising performance.
  4. The developer required a well-coordinated, scalable design solution suitable for phased delivery.

Our Engineering Approach

  1. We developed a modular steel framing strategy, allowing repetition and efficiency across the building footprint.
  2. Structural grids and member sizing were optimized to support architectural requirements and future flexibility.
  3. Connection design was standardized where possible to simplify fabrication and erection.
  4. Coordination considerations were built into the design to minimize downstream conflicts.
  5. All engineering was delivered in accordance with AS 4100 and Australian design standards.

Tools and Deliverables

  1. Structural design drawings suitable for construction.
  2. Engineering calculations demonstrating compliance and performance.
  3. Connection design information supporting fabrication and site works.

Results & Value Delivered

  1. Delivered an optimized steel design suitable for a large-scale commercial facility.
  2. Reduced complexity through modular framing and standardized connections.
  3. Supported efficient fabrication and site installation.
  4. Enabled predictable delivery aligned with the developer’s program.

Value to the Client

  1. Delivered developer-focused structural design balancing cost and performance.
  2. Reduced coordination and constructability risk.
  3. Provided a scalable solution suitable for large commercial projects.
  4. Demonstrated strong experience in Australian commercial developments.
