Past Projects
During Structural Solutions short time in the industry, a number of projects have been completed. Some of our most recent completed projects are outlined according to progress of years.
Structural Solutions was integral in the design of the settling tanks and associated major pipe network for the world’s largest nickel mine in Goro, New Caledonia. In conjunction with other companies Structural Solutions provided solutions for necessary in-situ variations that arose during the supply and fitting stages of the project. This project paved the way for future collaboration with partner companies on other major composite pipeline projects as a preferred partner.

Gorgon LNG project, Barrow Island, Western Australia
In conjunction with other engineering companies, as an extension of our previous experience in the resources sector, Structural Solutions was heavily involved in the design portin of the Glass Reinforce Pipe (GRP) pipe network on the multi-billion dollar Chevron LNG project on Barrow Island, Western Australia.
The community centre was designed for the remote village of Leste to bring the community closer together and reintroduce education to the village instead of walking days to the nearest school. The community centre consisted of locally supplied materials and rainwater collection and reuse within the building. The centre consisted of a main room where elders and the community could gather, also where the schooling could proceed during the day. It also had a fully kitted out kitchen and bathroom for the community where the rainwater would be used with conjunction with the filtration system provided. The structure had to withstand tropical hurricanes and landslides with the aid of deep pylons.
Engineering Without Borders Plan Timor Leste Project - Community Centre
In extension of the Noarlunga Rail Line, our company’s role was to design the rail stations footing, retaining wall and slope stability. The railway stations footing was designed to not exceed the bearing capacity of the soil, while maintaining an economical design. A retaining wall between the rail line and the station platform was designed to withstand the soil forces, as well as the surcharge from the platform. The stability of a slope was determined using GALENA, and the optimal slope was produced.

Structural design of decentralized power generation plant
Structural Solutions worked with the University of Amberg-Weiden in Germany on the structural design of a prototype decentralized power generation plant. This project required the Structural Solutions team to design structural frames to support the plant equipment. The Team also worked closely with the University of Amberg-Weiden to further develop the plant equipment to be more efficient. This was a new avenue for Structural Solutions and an area to be further developed within the company. This project was not financially remunerated and Structural Solutions employees participated on a volunteer only basis. The project was successful and resulted in a close ongoing relationship with the University.
Whyalla Hospital Cancer Research Centre Redevelopment
Structural Solutions were enlisted to assist with the structural design of the Whyalla hospital cancer research center redevelopment. The team was trusted with the design of steel roof and wall designs as well as the designs for the first story reinforced concrete floor slab. Structural Solutions produced complete engineering plans and drawings which were used during the construction of the project. The project required extensive investigation and research due to its proximity to the ocean, the harsh environment and the higher coastal wind speeds, all of which were carried out by the Structural Solutions team.
Water Systems Infrastructure Design – Strathalbyn
Structural Solutions were involved in the water service design of a new residential estate in Strathalbyn. The project involved the design of stormwater systems, sewerage systems and water supply. The stormwater systems were designed using Drains software, utilising both major and minor storm events. The sewerage system was designed to take into account the varying wastewater produced by each varying allotment size. The water supply was designed with EPANet, where there were multiple fire hydrants, which had a demand. The whole supply system was required to remain to a minimum demand.
Whyalla Airport Civil Work Redevelopment
Whyalla Airport upgrade was officially opened on the 1st of August 2014. After the completion of the airport upgrade, a site inspection was completed by detailing all the components within the airport and crosschecking its restrictions and standards. A report was generated in which it had components and major mistakes that doesn’t match the Australian Standards. The project requirement was to analyse the report and check the components for compliance in addition to contracting any work that needed civil works and quoting any resources. Safety upgrades were redeveloped for disabled passengers in the car park area and toilets.
