This 4-storey luxury apartment block in Armadale required careful structural and civil design by Miglic MacLeod. With a focus on design efficiency and quality, the team cost effectively addressed engineering challenges and worked closely with stakeholders for a high-quality result.
Our structural engineers explored the design and aesthetic opportunities for the residence using reinforced concrete materials. Ground anchors were used for the retention structure of the double-storey basement. This consisted of a bored pier and shotcrete wall system. These necessary components provided extra strength required for the building.
Our engineers also worked closely with the architect and our client to achieve fire ratings requirements. Our team designed the structural frame to the required Fire Resistance Level (FRL) in compliance with NCC requirements.
One of the civil engineering challenges was the drainage of the lower basement in the double storey basement car park on a tight site. We designed a water tank and stormwater pump station system at the lower basement level to protect the area from being flooded during a high rainfall event.
