PROJECT: ATLAS Mining, Wodgina WA (July 2012)
|
|
|
PROJECT: Kent Street, Gladstone (June 2012)
|
|
|
Having developed a modular system of construction being fabricated in China and shipped to Australia, we were asked to design some office accommodation in the remote north west of Australia. This involved inspections in China of the fabrication and site supervision of the installation in site. The highlight was the placement of the 14m x 14m structural steel roof which was lifted in one piece and placed over the accommodation units. The accuracy was so good that only minor alignment was required to fit.
|
Still in its design phase, this is a multi-level modular building construction which is supported on a structural steel and concrete transfer deck. With a challenging g site uphill, retaining wall needed to be integrated into the transfer deck. The superstructure consists of modules fabricated in China and shipped to site and lifted in place. We have been able to produce a very cost effective and quick outcome for the client.

PROJECT: Project Design Management (January 2012)
|
|
|
We were called in to assist the client and the architect to achieve a result from a project which was stalled by previous consultants. A 3 building project up a very steep site on three different tiers. We were able to come up with the retaining and construction solution to make this project move into the construction phase. The cost savings to the client have meant the project was to proceed.
|
In October 2011, I was asked to start consulting to Tenix Australia as a design project manager. This involved weekly meeting in Melbourne and the overseeing of the design and construction of a number of water treatment plants throughout Victoria. Whilst there I was also involved in a number of tenders and bids for various projects throughout Australia.

PROJECT: 88 Berry Street, North Sydney (December 2011)
|
|
|
PROJECT: Structural Asset Review Darling Harbour (June 2011)
|
|
|
The refurbishment of the North Sydney Club to luxury units required a lot of attention and co-ordination with the builder and architects. We took the project over from another consultancy and managed to complete it to the satisfaction of the client.
|
We were asked to take the lead structural role in assessing the maintenance required for the Darling Harbour Convention Centre. A rather large project which required us to review and inspect the entire centre and comment on the various structural aspects with respect to repairing them, maintain them or re-build them. The project was very interesting and demanding with the conclusion of a report with appropriate advice for the client.

PROJECT: Gipps Street, Melbourne (April 2011)
|
|
|
PROJECT: 6 Rosebridge Avenue, Castle Cove (November 2010)
|
|
|
A four storey modular building design on top of a pre-existing 3 storey concrete building. The project was very interesting with many hurdles placed before us. It is a commercial and residential project with modules coming from China.
|
After meeting the client at a social function and hearing their dismay at the costs and hurdles they were going through for building their house, I offered them my services and took over the structural design and supervision of the project from other engineers. The re-design and construction methodology applied dropped the cost sufficiently for the client to be able to proceed and build their dream home.

PROJECT: Damaged Housing Assessment, New Zealand (August 2010)
|
|
|
PROJECT: 8 Francis Street, Bondi Beach (June 2008-2009)
|
|
|
Following the first Christchurch Earthquake, I was called and offered a role as an assessor for the Earthquake Commission, in Christchurch. This involved inspecting and assessing the damage caused to various houses all around the Canterbury area and then reporting as to whether they were economically viable to repair or not. Dealing with the people and in some cases having to tell them bad news was a challenging task
|
A repeat client engaged us to perform the design aof an architecturally challenging building with a concrete roof consisting of 3 waves, one over the top of the other. The building was a reinforced concrete structre and behind it was retaining a block of unit and a hil which at excavation time was approximately 12m high. The project has been nominated for awards internationally.

PROJECT: 62 Wunulla Road, Point Piper (February-June 2009)
|
|
|
PROJECT: 138-140 Warners Road, Bondi Beach (November 2009)
|
|
|
I was asked by a builder to supervise the re-construction of a sea wall in a very prominent and exposed location on Sydney Harbour. The project basically involved keeping the harbour from coming into the site and creating an underground carpark under and existing block of units. The project was extremely challenging and the builder won an award for building the project. My engagement was only to the sea wall restoration.
|
A challenging project with retaining on all four sides of the building and units to retain as well. Being in a very prominent position the construction had to be quick and effective. We were approached initially for the piling but were soon engaged to take over the entire structural design. The result was a great cost saving to the client and an efficient construction.

PROJECT: 141-151 Alison Road, Randwick (August 2006)
|
|
|
PROJECT: 33-37 Ethel Street, Seaforth (June 2006)
|
|
|
Requiring a quick turn around without compromising quality, Parkview Constructions approached us to design and document the extensions to the Randwick Labour Club. Comprising 1 basement level and 5 storeys above ground, the site presented many construction constraints which needed to be overcome. With design and speed of construction taken into account, we were able to provide a good solution in the client’s timeframe.
|
Having worked well previously with a builder, AJK Design was contacted to provide structural design services to this project as a design and construct project. Located on a cliff face overlooking The Spit in Sydney, this luxurious block of apartments required considerable detail and technical ingenuity. This combination brought the costs down significantly and facilitated a fast and smooth construction.

PROJECT: 177 Fitzgerald Avenue, Maroubra (April 2006)
|
|
|
PROJECT: 2-8 Burleigh Street, Lindfied (March 2006)
|
|
|
A block of 4 town houses with extremely difficult level changes was designed. Underground parking and proximity to neighbouring buildings required a retention system with very little tolerance. The transfer slab on this project, though small in size, was extremely complicated. The construction was made easier by a large number of sections being produced by AJK Design to assist in construction of formwork.
|
A large modern complex of units consisting of 3 levels of underground parking and a complicated floor plan has been designed at this site. AJK Design was able to successfully co-ordinate with the architects and other services to obtain an efficient design for the project enabling efficient very construction.

PROJECT: 99-101 Yorktown Parade, Maroubra (January 2006)
|
|
|
PROJECT: 24 Orwell Street, Potts Point (January 2006)
|
|
|
A block of townhouses that required careful consideration due to the poor bearing capacity available and the existence of an underground sewer main through the site. The design had to incorporate retention of neighbouring properties, bearing capacity and co-ordination and compliance with Sydney Water sewerage requirements.
|
A very tight 6.5m wide site with extremely sensitive buildings on either side made the structural design for this site very tricky. This 5 storey building needed a design to allow for rapid construction without restricting site access or damaging neighbouring properties. A solution was achieved through consultations with the builder and architect on construction methods.
