Project Rainbow, White Sands SA

Structural Design Lead Engineer
Civil & structural design and documentation of the 13-level mill building, inground hoppers, silo stands, various warehouses and 45 silos and associated walkways. The new $53 million facility will be utilised by Ingham’s for the production of high-quality animal feed, with a capacity to produce 100 tons of feed per hour:

• Structural design of large structures.

• Mechanical equipment supports design & coordination.

• Design of deep hopper pit.

• Design of large silo support structures and footings.

Providing a structural design that was correct while coordinating with an ever-changing mechanical equipment design and layout.

Tan Burrup Ammonia Nitrate Bulk Storage Facility, Burrup Peninsula WA.

Structural Design Lead Engineer

The design of a large 48 metre clear span building with 15 metre eaves in a D cyclonic wind region (the highest cyclonic wind speed requirements in Australia):

• Structural design of large span structures.

• Large spans with large wind loads.

• The coating systems for the steel structure in the open bulk ammonia nitrate environment.

Due to the cyclonic rating there were extremely large uplift loads for the project. A footing system was designed which included the design and testing of rock anchors to greatly reduce the required rock excavation for footings.
