Prefab Power: Engineering IL4 Cooling Towers for Critical Infrastructure

By jarrod

At NEXTDC S3 Sydney, KUSCH engineered the structural design of 54 prefabricated cooling towers—each nearly 9 metres tall and IL4-rated for seismic and wind loads. Delivered in modular components and lifted into place with Roborigger technology, the system accelerated installation by design. With 26 towers now operational, this project showcases how prefabrication and precise engineering keep critical infrastructure cool, efficient, and on schedule.

Falling with Style – Engineering the Vertigo Free-Fall Ride

By jarrod

KUSCH brought engineering precision to pure adrenaline with Vertigo—the Southern Hemisphere’s first free-fall ride of its kind. Designed for Rotorua’s Velocity Valley Adventure Park, the 43-metre drop ride features a custom mechanical cable system and support frame, engineered to safely decelerate riders mid-fall. From FEA to fabrication drawings, we ensured strength, safety, and compliance—all while embracing the fun side of engineering.
