Our team are proud to work on some of the most strategic projects across road, rail and aviation including the $10b Westgate Tunnel project.
The core challenge of the North and South vent structures of the Westgate Tunnel Project was optimising the materiality and installation, while staying true to the architect’s 3D curved geometry and panelisation vision.
Our team researched and designed multiple alternatives including ETFE and aluminium. We used advanced parametric modelling to optimise material and spans depending on the panel-specific size, wind loads and location on the building.
We also optimised for available production sizes and extrusions lengths, to limit production wastage and lower overall costs, while standardising extrusions, connections and details for ease of installation.
