Aluminium & Composite Systems

By jarrod

Structural aluminium offers several advantages: Lightweight: Aluminum is significantly lighter than steel, making it easier to handle and transport High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Despite its lightness, aluminum boasts a high strength-to-weight ratio, meaning it can withstand heavy loads while remaining relatively lightweight Corrosion Resistance: Aluminum naturally forms a protective oxide layer when exposed to oxygen, which…

Building Information Modelling (BIM)

By jarrod

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a physical representation of a building. It is used in construction to plan, design, construct, operate, and maintain buildings and infrastructure more efficiently. KUSCH’s team deliver BIM Revit designs and coordination to identify and resolve issues in the design phase and minimise interruption and clashes on site. This ensures our…

Pipe Risers, Anchors, Expansion

By jarrod

Pipe risers in high-rise buildings must be designed to accommodate complex loading conditions,  including building movements, thermal effects, pressure thrust, seismic and wind loads. Failing to adequately design for these loads can lead to the failure of the pipework or supports However overestimating building movement and thermal effects leads to the addition of expensive movement…

Masonry

By jarrod

One of the oldest construction methods known to man, masonry construction can provide impressive durability, but also significant risks if built without adequate design and detailing. Well known performance issues include:   Fragility under seismic loads: due to its brittle nature, masonry buildings and building elements are susceptible to damage when subjected to earthquake actions Cracking:…
