Due to unique site conditions, the bracket system required a specialised engineering design by Legend hire’s engineering team to ensure both secure connection and optimal load distribution. This solution allowed the capping beams to be safely supported during critical construction stages, enabling works to progress without compromising the structure or safety on-site.
Outcome
The project was successfully delivered with:
- ✅ Zero safety incidents and no structural compromise.
- ✅ Full compliance with Legend Hire’s engineered specifications and relevant Australian Standards.
- ✅ On-time delivery aligned with the client’s construction program.
Legend Hire demonstrated its capability to deliver engineered bespoke solutions for complex structural support challenges, integrating design, fabrication, supply, and installation under a coordinated, turn-key service.
Scope of Work
Design
- Engineering assessment of the capping beam geometry, load paths, and reaction forces.
- Development of a custom bracket system to interface directly with the capping beams, designed specifically for the site’s spatial and load constraints.
- Analysis of:
- Permanent structure dead loads
- Temporary construction loads
- Lateral actions from wind and construction sequencing
- Compliance with:
- AS 3610 – Formwork for concrete
- AS 4100 – Steel structures
- AS/NZS 1170 series – Structural design actions
Supply
- Legend100T modular propping system configured to achieve high load concentration capacity.
- Custom-fabricated Legend brackets manufactured to engineered drawings for precise connection to the capping beams.
- All components supplied with:
- Certification
- Engineering data sheets
Installation
Works carried out by Legend Hire’s specialist install team, fully trained in engineered propping and shoring assembly.
- Brackets installed and connected directly to capping beams in accordance with engineering design.
- Site welding undertaken by Legend Hire to secure bespoke bracket connections and ensure optimal load transfer.
- Installation sequence coordinated with the client’s site team to ensure minimal disruption to other trades.
Inspection & Handover
