ACURA Group has worked with many of the contractors on-site, offering regular deliveries (with our 5 delivery runs a day in Adelaide), set times for crane lifts and technical support on-site to make the experience on-site even better.

siFramo – MAKING THE DIFFERENCE ON SITE

• ACURA Group worked closely with the Mechanical and HVAC contractors on-site to not only efficiently suspend the services on-site, but to really drive efficiency and keep things moving.

  
  

• One challenge on hand was to mount large exhaust fans to the slab above ground. These were a combination of both 800mm and 900mm diameter fans weighing in the order of 1200 kgs.

  
  

• A definite challenge to get these mounted and in situ with deadlines and the build happening fast! Due diligence was done around pricing up a metal fabricator and to get it painted.

  
  

• Acura worked with the Project Manager and Site Manager to work through this alternative solution  and identified that not only was it a cheaper alternative but also came with the massive added bonus of being completely flexible.

  
  

• Seismic ratings were also needed so this was done along with a complete engineered design and delivered free of charge to the contractor as part of the service. See inset graphic to show design.

  
  

• To add a further twist,  initially all fans were to be 800 mm diameter, however, it was discovered late in the process, once the fans were on-site that they had a diameter of 900 mm!

  
  

• This would have meant having to crane the welded frame and send back to the fabricator and changed making extra costs and inconvenience. 

  
  

• A design change easily accommodated with the delivery of a laser-cut adapter plate, and no expensive modifications to the frame.

  
  

• ACURA Group also provided hot dip galvanised laser cut plates to successfully mount the fans on vibration mounts and give an extremely robust mounted fan allowing for vibration.

  
  

• AcuraSTRUT was used to brace and give the frame excellent rigidity.
