ACURA’s seismic solutions can be found in many iconic and high-profile buildings across South Australia. The New Royal Adelaide Hospital, Flinders University at Tonsley, Tower 8 or Whyalla Hospital are amongst them, to name a few.
The Royal Adelaide Hospital spans the equivalent of three city blocks and contains almost 4 hectares of landscaped parks and gardens. What lies beneath the surface is a carefully designed and executed technologically advanced facility - one of the nations best in complex clinical care.
ACURA designed a versatile prefabricated and seismically approved common support frame (CSF), which the contractor built off site. The support frame was then transported in large sections on-site, lifted by crane, and successfully installed across all corridors.
An estimated total of 12km of siFramo was used in this innovative solution, along with other seismic approved products like Zip-Clip and seismic approved fixings.
Flinders University at Tonsley is a $120 million state-of-the-art hub by Flinders Uni located inside the old Mitsubishi Factory precinct.
One of the key challenges during the construction of the project, was to ensure that it met the AS1170.4 seismic compliance requirements.
To address the compliance requirements, ACURA Group deployed its end-to-end seismic services, and worked with both suppliers and builders to design and implement multiple seismically compliant solutions.
This involved the use of seismically engineered siFramo modular framing for the plant-room, Zip-Clip wire bracing for chilled beams and ductwork, Mason seismic spring hangers for pipe work isolation, as well as pipe support blocks and clips.
Tower 8 - Towering at an impressive 17 stories and offering over 37,000 sqm of office space, this office building in the Adelaide CBD required only the best in cutting edge building solutions; proving time and cost effective on this $195 million development.
ACURA supplied a range of hanging products, ensuring the services are sorted in the ceiling for seismic requirements, HVAC suspension and electrical needs.
ACURA Group's recommendations provide improved site safety and best practice efficiency savings to the installation process. Our specialist products such as Zip-Clip, and siFramo have been used in large-scale projects across the globe.
