Project Scope

Manufacture and delivery of Multi-Plate Arch Type HA for conveyor Overpass

Project Notes

  • Multi-Plate Arch Type HA (Galvanised, 5mm sheet thickness) Hot Dip Galvanised steel finish
  • 23.7m long, 4.9m span x 3.7m high arch
  • Skew & Bevel cut ends to suit conveyor gradient
  • The arch end treatment comprised a concrete ring beam
  • These structures are designed in accordance with AS 5100 and AS/NZS2041:1998
  • This arch was manufactured in Townsville and delivered within the required delivery schedule

Australian Construction Products (ACP) worked closely with the stakeholders, Nepean Conveyors and the consultants, Lindsay & Dynan. Project urgency required a prompt response to come up with a solution to the awkward challenge of the steep decline and the conveyor skew alignment.

The un-usual heavy Quad-Quad B Live Load was a key design feature and therefore Multi-Plate was specified as it can easily accommodate high loads.

Daracon Group had a tight lead time for design and supply that was 100% completed in 6 weeks.

Multi-Plate offers distinct advantages including: high strength to weight ratio / a wide range of shapes and sizes / easy handling and shipping / economical / can be pre-assembled or assembled on site.
