THE CHALLENGES
THE CHALLENGES
THE CHALLENGES
Temporary works engineering delivered to support structural alterations within a heritage-listed building, ensuring construction activities proceeded while preserving protected building fabric and complying with heritage requirements.
The project involved structural alterations within a heritage listed building, requiring strict adherence to preservation guidelines that limited allowable interventions.
Temporary works solutions needed to provide adequate structural support while minimising physical impact on existing elements. Construction sequencing also had to be carefully managed to avoid compromising the building's integrity at any stage.

OUR APPROACH
OUR APPROACH
OUR APPROACH
Metric developed carefully considered temporary works designs that enabled structural modifications while respecting heritage constraints. Solutions were focused on controlled load management, stability during construction and clear separation between temporary and permanent conditions.
Close coordination across project stakeholders ensured the designs aligned with construction methodology, sequencing requirements and heritage approval regulations.
