Overview
This presentation provides insights into the key design and construction considerations adopted by the managing contractor to successfully deliver this highly complex long span steel structure to a tight deadline. The presentation showcases some of the critical construction decisions adopted to optimise constructability and de-risk the overall roof construction. The webinar builds on previous presentations highlighting the structural design challenges presented by the Sydney Football Stadium Redevelopment.
Concepts covered include temporary works considerations for long span steel structures, the importance of contractor led design and integration of the construction methodology into the sequence, permanent works and temporary works designs to achieve a fully integrated design solution, key decisions which drove the construction methodology for the roof, and how constructability and flexibility were built into de-risk the design. The presentation also showcases the practical solutions developed and final outcomes that allowed the installation of the main Arch Truss segments, and how the main body of the roof (the Diagrid) was successfully modularised and installed.
This webinar forms part of the Construction series of CPD, and a collaboration with the Structural College
It is relevant to project engineers and senior project engineers in the construction and structural industries, and those looking to develop further knowledge of recent successful case studies.
This project was a finalist for the 2023 Australian Construction Achievement Award (ACAA).
