Project Overview
Legend Hire was engaged to deliver temporary structural support during the installation of large steel beams and a custom gantry inside a live airport terminal.
Our propping system provided stability and load transfer for existing columns while maintaining operational safety in a live environment.
The Challenge
- Zero tolerance for disruption to airport operations.
- Extremely limited space and active public access zones.
- Existing structure required additional load capacity for the temporary gantry.
The Solution
Design
- Custom-engineered bracket and propping layout designed in-house.
- System accounted for dynamic loads introduced by the gantry.
- Full compliance with AS 3610, AS 4100, and AS/NZS 1170.
Supply
- Custom-fabricated steel brackets and tilt-prop bracing components.
- Fully tagged, load-rated, and certified equipment.
Installation
- Installed by Legend Hire’s specialist team under strict airport safety protocols.
- Completed with minimal disruption to terminal activities.
Inspection & Handover
- Final inspection with builder and structural engineer.
- Documentation included compliance records, test certificates, and as-built drawings.
Engineering Considerations
