Challenges and solutions
Western Plains Motors required 15m wide openings in their workshop at machinery entry and exit points. We designed header trusses in these openings in place of the original columns. To accommodate the future office complex (not completed by us), we designed a fire-rated wall engineered a concrete panel wall to attach to the steelwork on the front of the building.
Particular thought and collaboration went into the workshop mezzanine frame design to ensure it was engineered for the required storage weights. All doors in the workshop were measured specifically to allow for forklift access underneath the mezzanine.
