The light-weight nature of timber is unlocking a new type of construction: building extensions on existing building.  The world’s largest timber vertical extension is 55 Southbank Boulevard, which consists of a 10 Storey Hotel situated on top of an existing 1987, seven storey concrete building. To carry the additional loads, the existing building had to undergo significant engineering analysis. In this episode we speak with Emma Russell, a Senior Engineer from WSP about: The works on the existing building, 55 Southbank Boulevard How to strengthen existing buildings to carry additional loads What project teams need to consider to determine if their building has existing capacity to build upon If you enjoyed this episode, I recommend you check out the 55 Southbank Boulevard Webinar with the CLT engineer and builder.

The project, 55 Southbank Boulevard is a defining new landmark  in Melbourne, being crowned as the the worlds tallest timber building extension, with a 10 storey cross laminated  structure sitting on top of an  existing 7 storey concrete building.  The technical challenges, of building one of Australia's tallest timber buildings on top of an existing building has significant technical challenges, and we were lucky to speak with the builder, Rob De Brincat, the Manager of Innovation at Atelier, the architect Julian Anderson, a  director at Bates Smart and Nathan Benbow, a senior Structural Engineer at Vistek.    In part two of this two part discussion: The role of building information modelling, and the utilisation of these models for fabrication and construction The importance of collaborating with shop drawers and and installers for successful prefabrication All of the key lessons learned on the project   If you want to use timber on your next project, there are over 45 free technical guides found at the WoodSolutions website. Technical guide 37 which focuses on the steps to deliver a mid-rise timber building is a good start. www.woodsolutions.com.au/articles/technical-design-guides
