Structural Engineering
We view structural engineering as the backbone of the built environment, encompassing the art and science of designing safe, resilient, and aesthetically pleasing structures. Whether it’s ensuring the stability of an industrial development or the intricate detailing of a historic renovation, we approach each project with an acute attention to detail. Our vast expertise lets us deliver innovative solutions tailored to your specific needs. At the heart of our practice lies a passion for creating spaces that inspire and endure, with a focus on lean design.
Industrial & Logistics Specialists
CRC specialises in designing industrial and logistics-related structures and buildings. We focus on creating efficient facilities that minimise costs and maximise space, from warehouses and distribution centers to manufacturing plants. By working closely with architects, contractors, and clients, we make sure that each project meets specific operational needs and Australian industry standards. Within our industrial specialty, we focus on:
- Multi-level warehouses
- High bay warehouses
- Distribution centres
- Specialised warehouse floor designs for complex automation equipment
Structural Fire Engineering
At CRC, we are able to develop structural fire engineering solutions by combining our deep understanding of heat transfer and thermodynamics with our experience in the field of structural engineering. With experience in both fire safety and structural engineering, our team can assess the thermal load effects of fire on structures and develop practical fire resistant designs. CRC structural fire engineering benefits:
- Improvement in structural efficiencies
- Reduction in extent of passive protection to reduce building costs
- Reduction in construction costs and project timeframes
Commercial
Our portfolio includes a diverse array of community and commercial projects all with different performance requirements, materiality and construction methods. Whether it’s designing durable infrastructure for seniors or creating dynamic learning environments for students, our team prioritises the building performance and spatial requirements to deliver high quality structures that benefit the broader community.
We boast an array of successful projects within the following sectors:
- Shopping villages
- Medical facilities
- Schools
- Childcare facilities
- Retail
- Gyms
Residential
CRC provides a full range of engineering services for residential projects, where we’ve demonstrated proficiency both in engineering for new builds and in providing remedial solutions for existing properties. We can assist with all residential dwellings including multi-story residential developments, town-houses, and duplexes. In crafting innovative designs for new residential developments or addressing structural issues in older buildings, we bring our experience and technical knowledge to every project. From detailed design, foundation assessments, and structural repairs to waterproofing solutions and building envelope enhancements, we are committed to ensuring the safety, functionality, and longevity of all residential properties.
Specialised Consulting, Assessments, & Reporting
We go beyond conventional engineering services by offering comprehensive assessment, reporting, and litigation support. Our team conducts thorough assessments to evaluate the structural integrity, performance, and compliance of engineering works. We examine each aspect of a project to ensure that it meets the highest standards of safety, quality, and regulatory compliance.
- Structural engineering assesments
- Engineering advice for building change of use
- Due dilligence reports
- Strengthening of structures
- Assessment of additional loads
- Wall removals and other structural adjustments
Structural & BIM Modelling
One of our many unique features is our in-house drafting team. Working with an in-house drafting team allows us (and you) a variety of benefits.
Control, Flexibility, & Quality
CRC maintains full oversight of the drafting process, meeting our high standards while easily incorporating specific client requirements. Our in-house team is agile, and integrates changes efficiently for responsive, accurate, and high-quality drawings.
Integration & Confidentiality
Our draftspeople are embedded within project teams, enhancing coordination and issue resolution, resulting in precise, up-to-date drawings. Confidentiality protocols are strictly followed to protect sensitive information throughout the drafting process.
Software & Customisation
Using the latest CAD tools, including Autodesk Suite products, CRC offers 2D and 3D visualisations and model federation, providing flexibility to match client-specific needs and project demands.
