UWA Forrest Hall

Originally designed by another consultant, Hera Engineering were requested by the builder of this project to redesign the suspended slabs as a precast system (‘Austral Deck’) with the aim of speeding construction.

Particular challenges were large cantilevers and balcony steps, further compounded by the presence of significant seismic transfer loads. An advanced 3D analysis was used to model the structural and find an economical slab design that ultimately satisfied the builder and architect.
