RMA was engaged to deliver structural engineering services for this 16 level mixed-use complex in Brisbane’s northern suburb of Chermside. The building is comprised of 3 basement levels, retail space on the ground floor, a podium level on the fourth level, with two 11 storey residential buildings above the podium.

RMA’s structural team worked closely with project architect Mode Design to optimise the structural design, providing a 10% saving for structural components for the client.

Our optimised design allowed for fast-tracked construction by using a secant pile shoring system, resulting in the 3 basement levels being excavated in less than 10 days. This project utilised all BIM content, processes and procedures to allow for fast and efficient construction.
