Engineering deliverables
Full structural calculations for racking loads, mezzanine levels, and roof-mounted plant. Each report states assumed soil bearing capacity, deflection limits, and the code clause behind every critical number.
Dimensioned general arrangement drawings with column grids, expansion joint locations, and embedment details. Sheets are structured so a site foreman can trace any member back to its calculation.
Comparative assessments of steel portal frames, precast concrete, and composite options for long-span logistics floors. Output includes span limits, foundation implications, and erection sequence notes.
Pad, strip, and piled foundation layouts matched to geotechnical reports. We flag slab thickness changes, ground beam positions, and service penetration zones before they become site variations.
Independent checking of another engineer's structural documentation. We issue a marked-up comment register covering capacity shortfalls, missing load cases, and detailing conflicts.
Site inspections at footing, steel erection, and concrete pour stages. We confirm as-built conditions match the issued drawings and document any field changes for the record.
Engagement sequence
Every warehouse project moves through the same controlled pipeline. The steps below show what we deliver at each stage and what we need from you to keep the schedule tight.
We start with your architectural layout, geotechnical report, and proposed column grid. Within five working days we return a feasibility note covering span limits, foundation assumptions, and any conflicts between the brief and the site conditions.
Dead, live, wind, and crane loads are applied to the frame model. Primary steel members and concrete elements are sized against AS/NZS 1170 and the relevant material standards, with deflection limits checked against the cladding and racking suppliers' requirements.
You receive general arrangement plans, elevation views, and a foundation layout marked with the critical load paths. This is the point where racking layout, door positions, and service penetrations are confirmed before we move into detailed documentation.
Connection details, reinforcement schedules, embedment plans, and steel fabrication drawings are produced to our internal CAD standard. Every sheet is checked by a second engineer before it leaves the office, so the set is consistent and construction-ready.
The final package is issued with a signed statement of structural adequacy. During construction we review shop drawings, answer RFIs, and carry out site inspections at the hold points listed in the specification.
Service scope for structural engineering engagements
Certified calculations for racking systems, mezzanine floors, and roof-mounted equipment, stamped for council submission.
Layer-disciplined drawings with dimensioning conventions that contractors can build from without back-and-forth clarification.
Grid planning for long-span logistics floors, including pad and pile foundation detailing suited to Australian soil conditions.
Moment and shear connection schedules for portal frames and crane girders, checked against AS 4100 requirements.
Independent verification of structural documents before tender, reducing the risk of costly on-site rework.
