173 GILLES STREET APARTMENTS

LOCATION 173 Gilles Street Adelaide, SA
CLIENT Piteo Design Architects
DESCRIPTION 4-storey apartment building
PROJECT PERIOD 2016

MLEI provided civil and structural engineering services for this four-storey mixed-use development, featuring a ground-floor commercial office and four residential apartments above, including two penthouses with rooftop terrace gardens.

Our structural scope included the design of footing systems, incorporating pad footings and a stiffened raft system. We developed a structural steel framing system to support the upper floors, along with the roof structure and bracing systems to ensure stability against lateral wind and earthquake forces. Proprietary floor trusses were also specified as part of the design.

On the civil engineering side, MLEI was responsible for the site layout and stormwater drainage plan, ensuring effective site functionality and compliance with regulatory requirements.
