More images of bondek and the pillars that are spaced to support the above flooring.
This building is going to be a 5 star rating buliding so they have installed a tank which will then supply the bulding with their own water.
This is the undercover parking, here is the 'bondeck' type material that supports the flooring above. A concrete pillar supporting the florring above as well.
A box gutter, drainage system, which is supported by a steel connection which is bolted into the pre-cast concrete panels


Close up of the connection of the pre-cast concrete panels, they are bolted together and then a mastic type material also is in place to allow some movement.
This picture shows the services, eg air conditioning, electrical in the roof and after all these services have been installed plasterboard will cover the ceiling and the services
Here is a pipe that is being held up by a type of string to the 'C' purlins in the roof. Also a beam with bracing coming off it.

This is a close up of the connection between the pre-cast concrete panels, this is a mastic type material that alllows some movement.
A close up of the connection of steel to the concrete, this is supporting the 'C' purlins in the roof.
Here you can see the beam cast into the pre-cast wall with the addition of a bolted connection. There is also secondary beams spanning from the primary beam. There is also very heavy bracing to support the primary beam. Also visible is the services.
Here is a pre-cast concrete wall, with steel bolted and welded connection, there is also a beam bolter in to the wall. This wasll is load bearing, which is giving support for the roofing and the long spanning of the roof with the beams.
Tilt your head to the LEFT this is pre-cast concrete, the supporting beams have been taken out and you can see that it has been patched up. There is no structual load on these walls, they are their for asthetics only.
H. TROON is the construction company that have been contracted to build this office block for the Department of Health in Ballarat, Armstrong St North.
Here are the lovely subcontractors just finishing rendering the supporting posts for the enterance of the building. The concrete that you can see is all prefacbricated and brought to site.
Another enterance to the buliding, their are two office spaces on for the department of health and the other will be put up for lease. The concrete doesnt take the load it is just their for asthetics.
Below is a conection between two steel beams, stiffing and a column to support, along woth bracing. Bolted connection between all the steel components
