PROJECT VALUE $7M

MLEI undertook cold formed steel structural engineering for the Glenelg Primary School facility upgrade, featuring 3x modular classrooms, teacher preparation rooms and breakout facilities. This project won the Innovative Cold Formed Steel Buildings Award at the 2024 SA Australian Steel Excellence Awards .

Interesting project features:

  • The curved corners of the building architecture added visual interest while softening the overall form of the structure.
  • The dimensional accuracy of the light-gauge steel framing allowed the curved architectural elements to be delivered with precision.
  • Prefabricated modules were key to the success of the build program. Roof modules were constructed with 4 or 5 trusses – each truss weighing between 75–140 kg. Overall, the project used 17 tonnes of LGS framing material.
