Innaloo Shopping Center
Structural Strengthening
Neesh Construction
Description
In 2017, Neesh Construction was appointed head contractor for the ongoing improvement works being completed at the Innaloo Shopping Centre.
Neesh retained the services of BUSS to complete structural strengthening works as part of the travellator upgrade. The travellator was relocated and required a suitable structural strengthening system that would accommodate additional loads.
BUSS supplied and installed carbon fibre strips to the soffit of the existing beams. The concrete beams were prepared by diamond grinding prior to the installation of the structural strengthening system; preparation and installation were in accordance with engineering drawings and the manufacturers’ specification.
