Argall

Aireys Inlet Primary School

A commitment by Aireys Inlet Primary School to enhancing the learning experience for its students by upgrading and modernizing its facilities was met by Sibling Architecture and our team at Argall. This includes the renovation of the main building to create a conducive environment for modern education delivery. Additionally, the school is focusing on the modernisation of the library to form a multi-functional space. These initiatives reflect the school’s dedication to providing students with the best possible learning spaces and opportunities.
The construction of the building involved a cold-formed steel secondary structure. This allowed for an open and seamless space, promoting a free-flowing environment without the need for portal frames. Additionally, the steel frame featured super lightweight canopies that extended from the structure, offering substantial cantilevering capabilities. To ensure stability and support, the frame was mounted over a suspended concrete slab and beam grillage, which in turn rested on screw piles for a secure foundation.

Design began in the midst of a highly volatile economic climate, our team was challenged with creating a functional yet visually impressive solution that aligned with the school’s requirements while staying within the budget constraints. This required hard work and persistence from the team as we collaborated closely with stakeholders to achieve an inspired and successful outcome. Despite the obstacles, we are proud to be delivering a design that can serve Aireys Inlet PS for many years to come.

ANDREW GALL, Director

Argall was founded in 2017 by Andrew Gall, an engineer with a passion for complex design and breaking the mould. His work experience as a senior structural engineer across a variety of project disciplines made him realise there was a real need for a bespoke people and service-oriented structural engineering consultancy that would inspire sustainability practices and innovation often lacking in big companies.

This is over and above his experience in traditional procurement roles, his work with builders in the design and construct field, managing projects in sport, tertiary education, the arts and zoological fields, as well as community, commercial, residential and multi- residential enterprises. With such a wealth of knowledge and understanding of different design methodologies, he has the expertise to challenge the status quo in his new venture.
