Coles Chadstone
Working with TRG, Argall conducted the structural engineering for a refurbishment of Coles at Chadstone Shopping Centre. After an initial assessment of the structure was conducted, the design team was able to form a new architectural fit out and upgrade of the building to improve structural integrity and appearance. While also modernizing the building to improve functionality for staff and new equipment.
The structure features a light-weight steel roof supported by a 1-way post-tensioned reinforcement beam and slab system. The plantroom and offices are constructed with reinforced concrete and a roof-level plant deck accommodates for the mechanical services. Engineered bulkheads enhance building aesthetics and contribute to structural appeal. The structure also includes cold formed steel and aluminum elements.

Challenges of the project included remediation advice on structural safety concerns such as unrestrained block walls, and the seismic design considerations for the suspended roof and wall elements. Existing building conditions were also carefully evaluated to assess the impact of proposed elements on in-situ structural elements. It was also ensured that all plans abided by the Lessor’s approval processes to ensure accountability throughout the project.
