    Prefab concrete industrial unit -South grafton

    TEK1 completed a residential project for a prominent organization in Australia. Our primary scope was to provide the detailing drawings for the industrial units.

    The project required close coordination with the precast detailer, as all the roof steel was supported by precast walls rather than conventional steel columns. This made accurate coordination critical to ensure all connections aligned correctly.

    To achieve this, we conducted numerous coordination meetings with the client and the precast team, helping the project progress smoothly and minimizing the risk of site issues and rework.

    TEK1 completed a residential project for a prominent organization in Australia. Our primary scope was to provide the detailing drawings for the townhouse.

We conducted numerous coordination meetings with the client and other teams to ensure the support cleats were correctly positioned and that all interfaces worked together seamlessly.

    388-George street – Steel stair project

    TEK1 completed a steel stair project for a prominent organization in Australia. Our primary scope was to provide the detailing drawings for the steel stair. However, the client also requested that we provide the support cleats for the balustrade.

    Although the balustrade itself was outside our scope, the support cleats had to be welded to our steelwork, making their coordination our responsibility.

    To ensure a perfect fit, we worked closely with the team responsible for the balustrade model. Through several coordination meetings with the client and the design team, we finalized the cleat locations and incorporated them into our detailing.

    TEK1’s Steel Detailing for Sydney Metro – Resolving Design Challenges – 8

    In this blog, we share a proposal we made to the builder to make installation easier on-site.

    In the OTE platform steel, we provided a PSD beam (OTB5) to support the platform screen doors below. These beams will later need to coordinate with the door manufacturer’s system.

    However, in practice, structural steel is rarely placed in the exact designed level due to factors like concrete alignment, mill tolerances, and site conditions. If the beam is installed as per the design without adjustment options, it may not match the required level for the doors.

    To solve this, we proposed adding packer plates so the PSD beam level can be adjusted during installation.

    The client accepted our proposal, and this solution will make the erection and alignment process much easier on site.
