DesignTech Consultants were appointed structural engineering design of a bespoke car wash facility. The structural solution comprised reinforced concrete pad foundations supporting a steel portal frame system, designed to accommodate large clear spans and open operational areas.
About This Project
Particular engineering challenges arose due to the irregular portal frame spacing and complex connection detailing required to suit the architectural layout and equipment clearances. These constraints demanded precise structural analysis and bespoke steel connection design to ensure global stability, efficient load transfer, and compliance with relevant design standards.
As part of the value engineering process, preliminary and detailed structural analyses were undertaken using Tekla Structural Designer to deliver an efficient and well-optimised structural solution. The optimised structural scheme resulted in an almost 7% reduction in total steel weight, enhancing both cost efficiency and environmental performance.
