Argall are proud to announce that construction is complete on the $9m upgrade to Murrumbeena Park

Argall are proud to announce that construction is complete on the $9m upgrade to Murrumbeena Park. The park is one of Glen Eira’s largest community spaces, with 2 sporting grounds, children’s play space, picnic facilities and a bowls club. The redevelopment of the community centre was focused on providing an integrated community hub with multi-purpose space to accommodate for a variety of uses.

A prominent engineering feature of the community centre is the active truss spanning 11m long and 5.5m high. This was formed using custom tensioned Ronstan tension ties to enable a flat truss with near zero deflection to meet the demands of the design.

The community hub is home to numerous facilities, including large capacity rooms for hire, lifts for accessibility, a changing places facility, social space, and sports club change rooms. We hope that this fantastic addition to the Glen Eira City Council can positively serve the growing community for the years to come. Argall congratulates would like to thank all involved those who made this project possible.

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.
