Downer Group awarded Wheatbelt Steel a 60m x 20m x 21m Heavy Vehicle Workshop as part of their ongoing contract with Gold Road Resources at Gruyere Gold Mine.
The 133 tonne HV Workshop featured 15m major bay centres with a 50t overhead gantry crane rail spanning this distance between columns, calling for a truss column to be engineered to separate the shed structure from the crane structure. A very clever innovative design was developed for the manufacture of cast-in rail assembly allowing significant cost savings on site with the placement of multiple rails in one assembly to very tight tolerances and cross falls. Also completed on this project the HME & LV Wash Bay Splash Walls.
