Toomuc Reserve North, South and Athletics

The project involved substantial upgrades to each pavilion. For the northern pavilion, the ground floor was expanded to accommodate amenities and changerooms for the football and cricket clubs plus dedicated facilities for the netball club. Meanwhile, the southern pavilion enhancements see accessible amenities and changerooms, public toilets with an accessible option and other improvements added. Finally, the baseball pavilion improvements feature accessible toilets, a canteen, an office, umpire rooms and other facilities.
The project encompassed three structures within the precinct. The northern and main sports pavilion, involved resolving access compliance and constructing a new addition with the same structural materiality. It featured a steel-framed roof, suspended RC concrete slab for the first floor, concrete columns over a stiffened raft slab with shallow pad footings. The second structure was the southern pavilion, a new build with a steel and timber hybrid roof and framing system over a suspended concrete raft on board piers. Lastly, the baseball pavilion consisted of temporary structures linked by a steel deck with a structural steel portal framed canopy spanning over it. Photography: 2Construct.com.au

Working with the existing Northern pavilion was challenging due to numerous modifications required for accessibility compliance, while designing the new addition to support potential future development. The southern pavilion presented unique difficulties with roof drainage, necessitating a collaborative approach for resolution.

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.
