Industrial Building Renovation – Lytton Road, Hemmant
1495 Lytton Road, Hemmant
Renovating an Industrial Building at Hemmant
GDS Consulting Engineers regularly supports industrial and commercial property owners across Brisbane with renovations, refurbishments and structural upgrades. One project we were pleased to be involved in was renovations to an existing industrial building at 1495 Lytton Road, Hemmant, in Brisbane’s eastern industrial belt. Hemmant is a well-established industrial area close to the Port of Brisbane, and refurbishing an existing building is often a smart, sustainable way to modernise a facility and extend its working life.
Engineering a Renovation to Existing Structure
Renovating an existing industrial building requires a thorough understanding of the existing structure before any changes are made. Where structural elements are exposed as part of a renovation, the design also has to consider both performance and appearance. GDS provided the structural assessment and design for the renovation, reviewing the existing structure and designing the structural elements required for the works. Working with an existing building means confirming that the structure can accommodate the proposed changes safely.
