Blind Creek

The design objective was to create a lightweight structure that harmoniously integrates with the surrounding natural landscape. The intention behind the design was to create a bridge that respects and complements the natural beauty of the surroundings, enabling the structure to become a visually appealing and unobtrusive element within the landscape.
Features including minimized structural depth and a bolted modular construction were successfully accomplished by utilizing prefabricated steel truss modules. These were connected through custom tensioned ties to address deflection and dynamic performance concerns. The truss modules were supported by steel columns on concrete bored piers and strip footings, providing a stable foundation for the structure.

In response to issues encountered during fabrication and construction, the installed structure was rectified on-site, with the team balancing rework and design to ensure optimal performance of the bridge. The focus was on finding a performance-oriented solution that addressed the identified challenges while maintaining the structural integrity and functionality of the bridge.

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.
