Earle Plaza

March 18, 2019

Project No: 6372

BE was engaged to provide multi discipline engineering for Earle Plaza in Nerang. Our commission included Design and Certification for a new Fascia screen; engineering for transparent and solid roof areas along with their associated requirements; and balustrading. We also provided Hydraulic consultancy services which covered roof water drainage.

The BEC Team undertook a visual inspection of the existing roof structure and a detailed wind analysis of the site. We then delivered detailed foundation design, two different possible screen options, roof member design, tie back detailing to existing roof structure and secondary framing to existing roof as required.

Brisbane Transit Centre Facade

January 24, 2019

Project No: 6906

Our Brisbane Transit Centre project was delivered alongside long term Clients (& facade experts) Locker Group – for whom we provided structural design services for the new Brisbane Transit Centre facade. The design involved perforated aluminium panels fixed to a horizontal steel member, which had to withstand a 1-in-250-year wind event. 

Logan Enhancement Project

November 22, 2018

Project No: 7075

Building on our significant façade engineering experience, we’ve recently been involved in the Logan Enhancement Project. Our Client required specialist engineering consultancy and façade certification for the design of aluminium screening across a number of different bridges as part of the project.

The bridge screens have been sourced through PicPerf, Locker Group’s architecturally designed perforated panels range. The vandal-resistant panelling carries a natural tree-scape image, created through varying aperture sizes in the metal. We ensured that the pedestrian barriers were certified against a 2,000-year wind event, plus usual pedestrian and cyclist loads per main roads specification requirements.  BEC provided cost saving analysis, and assisted in streamlining aluminium thickness and grade to achieve the most cost-efficient approach.

Project No: 6938

In our recent Dryandra Road Underpass project, the BEC team linked up with one of our favourite regular clients Locker Group to design and engineer the Façade Screening for an underpass involved in the New Parallel Runway by the Brisbane Airport.  

Dryandra road is located North of the Domestic Terminal and is now to be realigned as part of the New Parallel Runway project to will pass directly underneath the Taxiway, requiring the underpass to be capable of supporting a fully loaded, 700 tonne aircraft. (more…)
