Koonung Creek

The boardwalk project was initiated to provide a safe and accessible pathway through a swampy area, offering residents an opportunity to explore the natural surroundings while minimizing environmental impact. The decision to use prefabricated structural steel boardwalk modules was driven by the need for efficient construction and installation, as well as the desire to create a durable and resilient structure that could withstand the challenging conditions of the swamp environment.
The boardwalk uses prefabricated structural steel modules that were bolted together on-site. These modules were mounted on screw piles that are drilled into the swamp land. The boardwalk features a flush-fitting fiber reinforced plastic mesh flooring. The structure was designed to withstand both in-service and temporary construction conditions, considering the loading requirements for plant installation on subsequent sections of the boardwalk.

The project involved extensive testing of the challenging geotechnical conditions specific to the site. Additionally, a modular solution was designed to minimize the number of components required on-site while ensuring they could fit within the size limits for hot dipped galvanizing. The design of the modular solution took into consideration the difficulty of the construction process, ensuring it could be seamlessly assembled and limit complexities.

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.
