IL4 Data Centre
Scope: Structural design of prefabricated mechanical service modules, seismic design of mechanical & electrical services.
University of Queensland Plant Growth Facility
Scope: Structural design & certification of coolroom panels to accommodate weight of services suspended and as a trafficable platform. Structural design and certification of the architectural masonry facade. Structural review of the glasshouses for prefabrication and lifting. Seismic design of mechanical, fire protection & hydraulic services
Chevron Tower
KUSCH were engaged to design a 100m pipe riser from the L5 plantroom to the L29 plantroom supplying chilled water at Chevron tower. The client proposed a design that included flexible bellows, however given the unique design without any pipe branches between the plantrooms, KUSCH were able to anchor the riser centrally from the core wall, and all of the movement was accommodated at the top and bottom of the riser using spring hangers and flexible Victaulic couplings.
Angau Hospital, Lae PNG
Scope: Determination of appropriate seismic loads for this project. Structural design of services within a prefabricated medical gas container. Seismic design and certification of mechanical, electrical, fire protection and hydraulic services
Victoria’s Largest Data Centre
This datacentre located in Melbourne is the largest data centre in Victoria (by MW capacity.) KUSCH worked alongside the mechanical contractor to ensure that the installed mechanical services could withstand the seismic loading requirements of AS1170.4.
Shopping Centre Seismic Rectification
Assessment of installed Non-Structural Elements for compliance to AS1170.4 Rectification of Non-Structural Elements to comply with AS1170.4 seismic requirements. The following elements were assessed & rectified as necessary: mechanical, electrical, fire protection, ceilings & partitions and lifts & escalators.
RHHR – Royal Hobart Hospital Redevelopment
Seismic design of electrical, fire protection, hydraulic & medical gas services. Provided seismic training to installers
Product development
Review & verification of static strength tests completed by SATRA Technology. Development of test procedures and verification of shake table testing completed by Element Materials Laboratory, UK.
