The building sits on a grid of concrete ground beams which span to steel screw piles.

Question 2

Engineering

Accepted Answer

Development of the lateral load resisting system to minimise torsional building response – ENGCO carried out three-dimensional structural analysis of the building structure to investigate response to seismic loading.

Working with the ground improvement contractors and geotechnical engineers to co-ordinate soil stiffness properties into the building 3D analysis and provide building foundation pressures to refine the ground improvement design.

Working closely with the architect and design team to design and detail an efficient structural solution for a very architecturally complex building.
