CONSTRUCTION METHOD ENGINEERING

Almost every Wentworth project is driven by the construction method. We combine an understanding of project needs with a technical appreciation of engineering possibilities and material capacities. Drawing on over 25 years of construction-led engineering experience, we develop efficient and practical construction sequences and methodologies.

We continually deliver detailed solutions across multiple sectors and projects, and as such are exposed to a diverse range of engineering challenges. Our goal is to have a coordinated design approach that integrates permanent and temporary works to deliver high quality, efficient projects with associated savings in time and cost.

Our engineers design every structural element with its full lifecycle in mind, covering both permanent and temporary conditions, cores designed for self-stability during construction, slabs sequenced to provide working platforms, and connections detailed for realistic construction tolerances. By considering temporary stability, access requirements, lifting positions, and equipment constraints from day one, we prevent conflicts between design intent and buildability.

Construction sequencing and viability

Construction sequences must work within site constraints and material behaviour. We develop phasing strategies that account for material curing and installation requirements, structural element interdependencies, crane reach limitations, and material delivery logistics.
