Coates Hire’s new Mega Brace and MP150 Hydraulic
Strut shoring system played a key role in construction
of the 12 month upgrade project of the Queensbury
Wastewater Pump Station at Hendon in South Australia.
Coates Hire invested heavily in the new shoring system
which is quick and easy to install. Coates Hire’s technical
team offers support from project planning to project
completion to ensure cost-effectiveness.
Needing heavy duty shoring during construction of
a new 9m deep pumping station, SA Water and their
contractor York Civil called on the Coates Hire Shoring
Engineering and Technical Team to design and supply a
30m x 14m shoring system capable of supporting ground
loads in excess of 42 tonnes per metre.
“A contiguous concrete piled wall was installed to
14m deep around the perimeter, which was topped with
a concrete capping beam,” Coates Hire National Sales
Engineer, Nigel Robbins said.
“During the excavation and construction phases of the
pumping station this wall needs to be propped in the
temporary state until the internal walls and floors of the
pumping station are constructed.
“This support was provided by a combination of
two levels of Mega Brace around the perimeter along
with MP150 Hydraulic Struts providing wailer-to-wailer
intermediate support to achieve the required loads.
“After extensive preparation works at Coates Hire’s
New shoring system helps pump up the volume
Sydney (Ingleburn), Brisbane (Eagle Farm) and Adelaide (Albert Park)
Depots, which included making up the struts, testing the hydraulic
components and welding an extensive number of high load sheer stops,
the 110 tonnes of equipment was delivered to site and installed in only a
few days, saving the customer time and money compared to traditional
methods of support,” Nigel said.
“This project demonstrates the latest capabilities of Coates Hire to
provide multi-faceted shoring solutions and expand product capabilities
and engineering expertise,” Nigel Robbins said.
