This page show cases some of the Steel Detailing projectgs completed in Melbourne, Sydney, WA, Brisbane Tek1 has completed

  • PARAMATTA RIVER BRIDGE

    The Parramatta River is an intermediate tide-dominated, drowned valley estuary located in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

    Tek1 has done a great job in detailing the bridge and delivering the drawings on time.

    Also suggesting them with any issues that could possibly occur during erection on before hand saving thousands of dollars during detailing stage.

    Try construct a new building is easier compared adding members to an existing members. We could face lot of issues on site. Tek1 has done it efficiently with skilled team members.

    The existing site condition has made the Tek1 to propose lot of design changes which saved thousands of dollars during erection. Also one such thing, we provided them with a “drill template” so drilling on the members were done with ease and saved a lot of time, cost and man-hours.

  • Macquarie Park-Hanging Tube Balustrade

    Macquarie Park-Hanging Tube Balustrade

    This is a complicated project, but it came through. Our Scope was Hanging Balustrade around the Ground Floor Lobby. We need to provide those balustrade in numerous panels. This requires much time to complete the model. But we used our modelling techniques to complete it in a much shorter timeline.

    Design wise, We have faced a lot of problems in this job. Especially, The site was existing, so we weren’t able to transport the fabricated panels to the site. Luckily, we found this issue in the initial stages and we informed this issue to the Client. Hopefully, Gonzo Engineering was able to fabricate the panels on site. So that they avoid a lot of Time & Cost.

  • Ferrules and bolt length

    Items to take care

    1. Refer Ferrule Catalogue – https://reid.com.au/upload/modules/document_loader/Anchoring_Solutions_Design_Guide_2011.pdf
    2. Check whether ferrule face is flush with concrete or rebated.
    3. Check Thread length in Ferrule
    4. Check total thickness of bolted items including washer.
    5. Make sure that the bolt specified is at least 5 mm less than (WASHER THICKNESS + Plate thicknesses + Rebate in concrete + thread Length)

    Traps

    1. Bolt too long – If thread length in ferrule not taken into consideration
    2. Bolt too short – If washer, Rebate Plate thicknesses not taken into consideration

    Main issue here is the entire length of bolt is decided by the Cut length the modeler provides.

    If proper care is not taken, then there will be a site issue

  • Diamond Creek Netball Pavilion

    Diamond Creek Netball Pavilion

    Author: Pon Dhileepan

    This Diamond Creek Netball Pavilion is a building in Victoria. The pavilion is built next to 8 netball courts. Diamond Creek Netball Association owns this.

    Building Summary:

    The total built up area – 1088 sq.m
    Total steel weight – 40 ton.


    The ground floor of this building is reserved for parking. The first floor has dressing room, 2 change rooms, kitchen , 2 amenities, umpire room, a large multipurpose room etc. The main building in the first is surrounded by corridor from where support could watch the sport. It has a stair and a ramp to access the first floor. The roof is large and is inclined diagonally.

    One special thing about the design is the ramp and first floor slabs are concrete but are laid between perimeter steel members. Refer below image.

    Supply and Schedule:

    This project was undertaken by us during April & May 2020 which was global lockdown period. The project was bit urgent from the client side. After all RFIs, approval submissions, comment implementations, the full pack was submitted by mid of May 2020. We completed it by the desired date even with lesser man power available during lockdown. The project was submitted part by part as requested by the client.


    First supply – Pack for Ramp steel and fence steel
    Second supply – Pack for Stair steel, first floor cast in PFCs and balustrades.
    Third supply – Pack for columns, lintels and roof members.


    A proper coordination between site and detailing team was required as works were undergoing simultaneously. When ramp steel was supplied and they laid concrete, we had to submit the first floor cast in PFCs, cast in plates and balustrades and these must be fabricated before the ramp concrete in done curing. We maintained the schedule properly and no delay happened in the site.

    Some of the model snaps are given below.

    Thanks for reading.

  • Steel Estimation Reports

    Here is a sample Steel Estimation Report showing, hot rolled, cold rolled and bridging list. If you are accepting the order, then sometimes you will want to make sure that the final drawing does not include extra steel over what you quoted.

    If you take a quote from us for detailing and then award the detailing work to us, then our standard procedure is to check the tender drawings against construction drawings to make sure nothing extra is slipped in.

  • Estimation Bridging List

    Here is a sample of bridging list we provide with Take off. We provide the length and the quantity for accurate estimation. The model also shows the bridging.
