Launceston General Hospital & Carpark Redesign Aldanmark was engaged to provide structural and hydraulic design, documentation and supervision of the new department of emergency medicine. The building consists of a five storey concrete addition to the existing building, partly constructed over a lower level trafficable lane way. The project posed staging, and coordination challenges including construction adjacent to a working hospital as well as structural design issues associated with additions to existing buildings. The building is currently under construction.

North West Regional Carpark

Aldanmark participated in a design and construct team to provide a new carpark for the North West regional hospital. The clients brief was to provide the best carpark option for the area and a given budget. The location, shape and construction methodology was left to the consultant team to determine and provide options to the client. The project is also acting as a prototype for the framework of future BIM projects for the DHHS

1/07/2012



Menzies Research Centre - Stage 1 & Stage 2 Aldanmark was engaged by Bonacci Group (Melbourne) to act as their local representative during the construction of stages 1 & 2 of the Menzies Medical Research Facility in Hobart. The role involved overseeing all engineering related issues including relevant inspections and development of erection procedures for pre-cast façade panels. Aldanmark was further engaged by JHFJV to undertake design for all temporary works for the projects.

Bathurst Street Apartments Aldanmark was engaged to provide structural, civil and hydraulic design, documentation and supervision of a new seven level apartment complex with two levels of underground car parking for 48 residential apartments. The structure consists of post tensioned concrete floors with a ground floor transfer system. The development provided additional challenges by way of a 9 meter deep excavation within 2 meters of a busy street. Timelines required project delivery to be produced within a short period of time, without compromising the standard of design and documentation. Construction commenced in July 2010 and was completed in late 2011.

1/07/2012



KGV Grandstand Aldanmark was engaged to provide structural and hydraulic engineering design and supervision of a three storey, single tier grandstand. The building was to cater for a nominal seating capacity of 1000 patrons plus corporate areas and sporting change rooms. The structure was predominately precast concrete including lift shaft, superstructure and seating. Detailing of precast connections and propping was essential to ensure fast efficient erecting of the building whist maintaining structural integrity. The project was completed in 2009.

Campbell Street Car Park and Accommodation (Nation Building) Aldanmark was engaged by SEMF to provide Structural design and documentation services for the Nation building that included 2 stories of Car parking. The building was positioned over one area of the carpark while the other area was built into the ground. Similar challenges were faced with that of the Bathurst street carpark. In both project Aldanmark modelled the full 3D building including reinforcing so that accurate quantities could be produced for a feasibility study.

1/07/2012



Devonport Police Headquarters Aldanmark was engaged to provide structural, civil and hydraulic design, documentation and supervision for the Devonport police headquarters addition. The building is a two storey addition and refurbishment, consisting of post tensioned slabs and steel frames. This project posed project management challenges designing around a functioning building operated by Tasmania Police.

Gateway Estate Subdivision Aldanmark have provided design and project administration services for the gateway estate subdivision which is a 600 lot subdivision in New Norfolk. Five stages are currently completed and a further two stages currently in design phase. Aldanmark has undertaken engineering design and documentation in a timely and efficient manner to enable the developer to obtain approvals from regulatory authorities so that construction can be ongoing without delays. The subdivision was designed with AutoCAD Civil 3D over a number of stages and is currently on going.

1/07/2012



Fairway Rise Lifestyle Village Aldanmark provided the engineering design for a retirement village and aged care facility at the old Rosny Golf Course site. The development included approximately 1700m of road network inclusive of culdesacs, a new roundabout on Gordons Hill road and on-site carparking. In conjunction with this network of roads, engineering infrastructure services were also provided for retaining wall designs, stormwater, sewer, potable and fire supply water mains. Aldanmark made use of sophisticated plan production and 3D modeling tools including ARD Roads, AutoTURN Pro 3D and AutoCAD Civil 3D to produce detailed and accurate designs for the civil components of this project.

5. Design Methodology

Aldanmark has a number of 3D computer aided design tools at its disposal. With the movement towards BIM, these are becoming increasingly more valuable; however with 2D digital files we are still able to develop advanced 3D models that allow us to perform detailed calculations of structural behaviours. 3D modeling allows our engineers to predict the behaviour of structures and components with detailed connections or complex arrangements. This approach allows us to determine the detailed failure methodologies and to concentrate on rectifying these areas, thus eliminating the cost of manufacturing and testing prototypes in order develop a solution, usually to a complex problem. A 3D model which includes the actual geometry and material properties, as well as any dynamic loading that will be applied to the structure allows true behaviour to be modeled that in the past was not possible without powerful computer packages. The output from the model includes the internal actions, deflections and stresses. In-depth analysis can also be carried out such as temperature effects, dynamic properties and dynamic behaviour, fatigue and long term effects (creep).

Design Tools The main 3D modeling tools we utilize vary subject to the structural or civil problems that present themselves. In many cases we will use 2 or even 3 different packages depending together to provide solutions to all the issues that need resolution. The 4 main packages we use are; Space Gass Space frame programs predominately for steel and timber frames, however complex arrangements including concrete slabs and walls can be incorporated if these are only providing supports.

Strand 7 Finite element program for plates and detailed connections. The package allows the distorted shape to be displayed as well as identification of any areas that may experience localized stress.

1/07/2012



Inducta Detailed concrete building package that incorporates reinforced and post tensioning design. The 3D model allows for all load paths to be established and can calculate steel and stressing rates as well as concrete volumes

Autodesk Civil 3D and Advanced Roads Advanced Road Design and Autodesk Civil 3D are used to model all land and terrain manipulation for subdivisions, road reconstructions, pipelines and dams. Changes can be made quickly and efficiently with long sections and cross sections being automatically produced. The full design can be modeled based on the natural terrain and viewed in 3D or presented in a range of options. Any minor changes to the model are dynamically updated.

Examples Over the last 6 years the majority of Aldanmark’s projects have involved some form of 3D or finite element analysis. A small selection of those include;

Grain Kiln - Strand7

The Grain Kiln is used to dry grain that will be used in producing whisky. It is 4.5m Long x 1.8m diameter and is manufactured out of stainless steel. The maximum capacity is 2T of grain.

1/07/2012



Aluminum Window Shades - Strand7

The window shades are attached to the walls of the Nation Building. One of the main areas of the analysis was to investigate fatigue as aluminum is prone to this method of failure.

Work Box - Strand7

The steel work box was designed to safely lift personnel across the façade of the Medical Science building – Stage 2. The work box was used in the installation of the windows and also the aluminum sun shades.

Wellington Air Bridge - Space

Gass

The Wellington airbridge links the Royal Hobart Hospital to the Wellington Carpark and spans across Argyle street. This model was generated to investigate the behaviour of the bridge under static and dynamic load conditions. Complex resonance behavious was modelled to determine dynamic wind load behaviour

KGV Grandstand - Space Gass

Althought the porject consisted of precast elements and strcutural steel frames the repetitive nature of the large steel cantileved truss meant that the steel framing functions in Spacegass enabled detailed stresses and deflections in the truss to be determined. The precast concrete beams were modelled to determine loads and we analysed seperately

1/07/2012



Residential Apartment Buildings -

Inducta

The models below were generated with a suite of software packages developed by Inducta. The software packages specialize in the design and analysis of Reinforced Concrete Buildings and Reinforced/Post-tensioned Concrete Floor Systems, walls columns and footings.

Fairway Rise - Autodesk Civil 3D Fairway rise consists of 75 dwellings and additional nursing home aged care buildings. The site topography varied across the proposed development and areas of the road formation required large cuts to provide safe roadways. Civil 3D enabled detailed design to accurately place dwellings and provide calculations of cut and fill as well as retain wall areas.

Gordon’s Hill Roundabout- Autodesk Civil 3D The introduction of a roundabout on Gordon’s Hill road was made more complicated by the steep approaches and cross falls. In order to be able to accurately model the finished design surfaces and determine bus turning paths a combination of civil 3D, Advanced roads and Autoturn Pro we utilised.

6. Incorporating Building Information Modelling (BIM)

Building Information Modeling (BIM) has been developed to provide a comprehensive method to model facilities, buildings, structures and assemblies in 3D. A Model is used not only to produce technical drawings and documents, but also to link objects within a project with relevant information. This information is then stored as a database within the electronic file shared between different stakeholders involved in the project. The value of BIM extends past the design and construction phase as the information can be used for the life cycle of the building. For example, electronically storing BIM by government bodies is considered a forward-looking method of gathering city information. BIM allows information to be very efficiently exchanged between consultants and stakeholders. This results in significant increases in productivity while reducing time and cost as conflict resolution and communication is streamlined. Software developers (Australian and International) have embraced BIM and the exchange of data between different software packages is now well established. This allows consultants to efficiently explore alternate design options allowing for a greater number of possible solutions to be explored. Over the past 18 months, Aldanmark has introduced BIM into the design, documentation and management of projects undertaken. The following points summarise the main findings of the effect of implementing BIM;

Significant value has been achieved during the time allocated to concept design as numerous alternate solutions can be very efficiently investigated and compared

Changes to one part of the model are automatically made to all elements that are affected - this approach dramatically reduces manual repetition and reduces human errors

Complex technical drawings can be produced in 3D, reducing construction and manufacturing oversights

Conflict resolution between consultants and stakeholders is streamlined

Database of information is automatically generated as all elements within the model are linked to relevant information. This information can then be used to compare cost, efficiency and environmental impact

Construction simulation and sequence can be modeled, resulting in reducing construction time and rationalisation of trades/contractors on site

Example Project: North West Regional Hospital Multilevel Carpark Aldanmark together with DHHS and other relevant stakeholders have been involved in the North West Regional Hospital Car Park as a pilot BIM project. The graphic below illustrates how BIM was adopted and data shared between consultants (based on the structural engineering role within the project).
