Manufacturing Facility Design >Industrial> Australia

Project Snapshot

Project type: Industrial manufacturing facility

Location: Australia

Client type: Manufacturer

Structural system: Steel structure with crane girders

Software: Tekla TSD, Ideastatica, Navisworks, SAP2000

Scope of work: Structural design for crane-supporting steelwork, Analysis of crane loads and dynamic effects, Connection design and engineering calculations

The Challenge

  1. The facility required support for overhead cranes, introducing high dynamic and fatigue-related loads.
  2. Structural performance needed to address both strength and serviceability, including deflection and vibration limits.
  3. Any underperformance could directly affect crane operation and safety.
  4. The client required a robust, reliable design suitable for long-term industrial use.

Our Engineering Approach

  1. We carried out detailed crane load analysis, including dynamic impact factors and load combinations.
  2. Steel framing and crane girders were designed to meet strength, fatigue, and serviceability criteria.
  3. Connection design was coordinated to safely transfer crane loads into the primary structure.
  4. Deflection and vibration checks were integrated into the design process to ensure operational comfort.
  5. All engineering was delivered in accordance with AS 4100 and AS/NZS 1170.

Tools and Deliverables

  1. Structural engineering calculations addressing crane loading and performance.
  2. Detailed structural drawings for crane girders and supporting steelwork.
  3. Connection design information suitable for fabrication and erection.

Results & Value Delivered

  1. Delivered asafe and reliable crane-supporting structure.
  2. Ensured smooth crane operation within serviceability limits.
  3. Reduced operational risk through robust structural design.
  4. Supported efficient construction and commissioning.

Value to the Client

  1. Delivered industrial-grade structural engineering for crane-supported facilities.
  2. Reduced safety and operational risk.
  3. Provided confidence in long-term structural performance.
  4. Demonstrated strong experience in Australian manufacturing and crane-related projects.
