The Hunter Street Project involves a total of three unique ramp and gate assemblies, each designed with a distinctive geometry and function.
Unlike conventional ramps that slope in a single direction or follow a straight alignment, these ramps are far from ordinary. Each one features multiple slopes and apex lines, requiring precise modeling and coordination to achieve seamless transitions and accurate fitment on site.
The associated gate systems include both single-leaf and double-leaf sliding gates, each integrated carefully with the ramp slopes to ensure smooth operation and proper clearances.
Structurally, each ramp is composed of a series of 4 to 8 frames.
Every frame includes:
- A chequer plate deck at the top for slip resistance and durability.
- A base plate at the bottom for connection and stability.
- Waffle-type stiffeners sandwiched between, providing rigidity while minimizing weight.
This setup requires engineering precision and modeling expertise. Tek1 had to provide inputs and suggestions to design the slopes in a way that ensures smooth operation of the sliding gates without imbalance.
