Engineering Excellence
Structural Propping
We provide expert design and assessment services for structural propping solutions. We work closely with builders and contractors to specify safe, efficient propping systems tailored to each project’s requirements. This includes the design of heavy-duty hydraulic props for load transfer, adjustable props for vertical support, and tilt panel props for securing precast elements. We also develop modular propping layouts for complex structures such as bridges and multi-storey buildings. All designs are compliant with Australian Standards, ensuring reliable support for slab backpropping, façade retention, formwork, and other temporary conditions throughout the construction process.
Ground Shoring and Geotechnical
SYK offer specialised design and assessment services for ground shoring applications to ensure safe excavation and earth retention during construction. We work collaboratively with contractors to develop efficient, site-specific solutions that may include soldier pile and shotcrete walls, sheet pile systems, hydraulic bracing, or trench boxes. Our designs address factors such as soil conditions, surcharge loads, groundwater, and adjacent structures, all in compliance with Australian Standards. Whether supporting deep excavations, protecting nearby assets, or enabling safe trenching, our tailored shoring solutions provide the stability and safety needed for successful project delivery.
Formwork Design
We provide comprehensive formwork design services to support safe and efficient concrete construction. Our designs are tailored to each project, taking into account concrete pressures, pour sequences, construction loads, and site constraints. We design conventional and modular formwork systems for slabs, walls, columns, and complex geometries, ensuring stability during all stages of the pour. Working closely with builders and formwork contractors, we deliver detailed documentation and calculations that comply with Australian Standards. Our goal is to provide practical, buildable solutions that optimise materials, minimise labour, and ensure structural integrity throughout the construction process.
Inspection and Sign Off
As structural engineers, we offer inspection and sign-off services for both the design and installation of temporary works and structural elements. This includes reviewing and certifying engineered designs, as well as conducting on-site inspections to verify correct installation and compliance with approved documentation. We assess key elements such as structural propping, shoring systems, and formwork to ensure they are safe, stable, and built in accordance with Australian Standards. Our certification process provides peace of mind to builders, contractors, and regulators, confirming that temporary and permanent structures meet all necessary safety and performance requirements before and during construction.
