High-Exposure Wind Hoarding with Reduced Concrete

The project required a stable and durable hoarding system for site offices in a high-exposure area subject to strong regional winds. The hoarding needed to resist enclosed-surface wind pressures, ensure safety under temporary works standards, and remain efficient, modular, and reusable. The open terrain and limited installation space posed additional challenges in achieving secure anchorage and optimal footing design.

Konceptual designed and certified a 3.2 m-high LVL-and-SHS hybrid hoarding system with 3 m post spacing, engineered to withstand both wind and roof loads on an enclosed façade. A detailed finite load analysis was conducted to optimize post and footing demands, leading to a 30% reduction in concrete volume. Standardized footing geometry and modular framing allowed quick installation and easy reuse across future sites, ensuring compliance with Australian Standards for temporary works.

• 3.2 m-high LVL + SHS hybrid hoarding system with 3 m post spacing.
• Designed for enclosed-surface wind and roof loading in a high-exposure region.
• Achieved 30% reduction in concrete volume through optimised footing design.
• Modular framing allowed for rapid setup, dismantling, and reuse.
