Industrial
Built as an industrial facility targeting a 30-year service life, this structure was designed with Class C5-M corrosion protection, water/cement ratio optimisation and galvanised-plus-epoxy dual-coat connection details — and was handed over complete with a Year 10 inspection plan.
Project Challenges
The client required the building to operate under heavy industrial use for 30 years with minimal maintenance. Material selections, corrosion protection systems and structural connection details all therefore had to prioritise long-term durability as the overriding design criterion.
Our Solutions
Steel structural members were coated with a Class C5-M corrosion protection system. In reinforced-concrete elements, the water/cement ratio was kept below 0.40 to enhance carbonation resistance; critical connection details were secured with dual galvanised + epoxy coating. The building was handed over complete with a Year 10 inspection plan.
Driven by our love for people and the environment and respect for our craft, we have been providing architectural and contracting services since 2010.
