Hera Engineering was contacted by Suida International to carry out an initial “peer review” of the 238 Oxford street project, in Leederville. The existing scheme had a large quantity of transfer beams, which were increasing construction costs and prolonging the completion timeframe.
Our alternative design completely eliminated the transfer beams which allowed the basement to be raised by approximately 1m compare to the original design.
A top down approach for the basement construction was adopted in order to reduce both the program and the ammount of dewatering on site.
