ArchitectElenberg Fraser
Quentin’s Key RoleDesign Manager/Team Leader

Victoria One at 452 Elizabeth Street is a 75 storey tower set to join the growing number of high-rise developments beyond 200m in height through the northern end of the CBD (240m to be precise).

The 75 level building design features 10 level podium containing car parking and apartments fronting Elizabeth and Franklin Street. The development contains a total of 629 apartments. The stability system comprises a centralised core with mega-column/outrigger wall system.

Quentin’s responsibility on this project was to lead the design team through the delivery phase from a technical and commercial perspective. Key technical challenges on this project included:

  • 12m high columns within the podium supporting tower load. Due to car park constraints, the maximum width of these columns allowable was 420mm. This required a full composite column design with heavy welded plates and concrete infill with shear studs.
  • Detailed staged construction analysis to determine locked in stresses due to vertical load migrating between mega columns and core through the outriggers located at discrete locations up the building
  • Full axial shortening study to determine differential axial shortening between highly stressed perimeter columns and comparatively less stressed core walls with floors requiring pre-setting to satisfy serviceability requirements.

BuilderBrady Construction
ArchitectElenberg Fraser
Quentin’s Key RoleProject Principal/ Team Leader

380 Lonsdale street is a dual tower development comprising the northern end at 68 levels and the southern end at 52 levels. The two towers are joined, making structural analysis complex when dealing with differing heights and stiffness of the north and south core structures.

The stability system comprises two centralised cores for each tower coupled with shear walls. The stiffness aspect ratio of the joint towers is circa 1:13.5 making it an extremely slender very tall building. This is further exacerbated by its large wind sail catchment area with the combined length of the towers measuring at 48m. The development has recently started construction on its 2 level basement with the detailed structural design having been completed.

Quentin lead the design team on all structural aspects of the project. Most notably Quentin successfully derived the stability system to be such that the tower did not require supplemental damping for occupancy comfort under wind loading. This freed up significant net lettable area on the top levels of the tower.

The basement level consists of a stiffened raft slab on ground supporting heavy plant equipment. The “third level” roof structure consists of a banded slab system with post-tensioning and conventional reinforcement.

Located on a constrained site, the design involves an innovative and cost-effective site retention system comprising of bored piers with a sprayed concrete infill wall. As lead structural engineer, Quentin was responsible for coordinating and managing the structural design process. The structure required a significant level of coordination with the support services engineers; his duties also included ensuring strict coordination between the electrical, mechanical and structural designs.

12 Month Secondment to Christchurch – New Zealand

The city of Christchurch had sustained significant damage following the earthquakes of September 2010, February 2011 and subsequent aftershocks. Quentin was fortunate to have the opportunity to travel to Christchurch on a 12 month secondment to assist with the earthquake re-build.

Being a structural engineer in Christchurch, it was fascinating to witness the effects earthquakes have on structures in a practical sense. On a personal level, this was the most rewarding period of Quentin’s career as an Engineer where he was able to witness first hand the positive outcomes the profession of Structural Engineering can have on people and society.

While in Christchurch, Quentin was able to develop skills in seismic design as well as forensic and investigative engineering. He was responsible for analysing and assessing multiple commercial and residential structures to determine their seismic capacity against current standards and then design and specify repair and strengthening measures to achieve desired strength levels.

This often involved detailed site investigations and assessment of visual damage, then adopting a combination of analysis, engineering intuitive, lateral thinking and problem solving skills to pin-point the critical weak points of the structure.
