Mezzanine Level Design and Fabrication – 6 O'Connell St, Sydney
Client: Sydney Welding Engineering
Project Type: Commercial Mezzanine Level
Location: 6 O'Connell St, Sydney
Sydney Welding Engineering commissioned Applied Project® to provide comprehensive design and fabrication drawings for a mezzanine level at a commercial development. Leveraging our expertise in 3D modelling and drafting, we delivered a solution that ensured meticulous planning and visualisation from individual components to the complete assembly. Our work streamlined fabrication and installation processes, resulting in a high-quality outcome that fully met the client’s expectations.
Key Components of Our Work
3D Modelling
Using SolidWorks, we developed detailed 3D models of the mezzanine structure. These models allowed us to visualise the entire project virtually, identify potential design issues early, and make adjustments prior to fabrication. They also enhanced communication with the client and stakeholders, ensuring a shared understanding of the final product.
Drafting
Our team produced precise fabrication drawings, including all necessary dimensions, tolerances, and material specifications. These drawings acted as a blueprint for fabrication, ensuring every component met exact standards.
Individual Parts
Each component of the mezzanine was designed and detailed individually. This granular approach guaranteed accurate and efficient fabrication, minimising errors during assembly.
Fabrication Instructions
We provided step-by-step instructions for the fabrication process, covering cutting, bending, and assembly. These guides allowed the fabrication team to follow the design intent precisely, maintaining consistency throughout the project.
Welding Specifications
Recognising welding’s critical role in structural integrity, we specified exact techniques, materials, and standards. This ensured all welds met safety and quality benchmarks, providing confidence in the mezzanine’s durability.
Visual Representation of Assembly
We created a comprehensive visual guide of the assembly process using SolidWorks. This resource proved invaluable for the on-site installation team, offering a clear reference that reduced confusion and accelerated construction.
Challenges and Solutions
One significant challenge was ensuring compliance with Sydney’s stringent commercial building codes. We collaborated closely with structural engineers to verify that all designs met safety requirements, preventing potential delays or redesigns.
Tight project deadlines demanded an optimised workflow. By utilising SolidWorks’ advanced features—including automated drawing generation and parametric modelling—we accelerated the design process without compromising quality or precision.
Results
Our advanced 3D modelling and drafting tools significantly reduced the risk of errors during fabrication and installation. Detailed drawings and instructions enabled efficient, precise fabrication, while the visual assembly guide provided a clear roadmap for the installation team. Coordination between teams improved, communication was enhanced, and collaboration was seamless.
The mezzanine level at 6 O'Connell St was completed on schedule and to the full satisfaction of Sydney Welding Engineering. This project demonstrates Applied Project®’s commitment to precision engineering, efficient workflows, and high-quality solutions tailored to complex construction challenges.
