Project Fast Facts:
- Client: Austrak
- Project Location: Rockhampton, QLD
- Project Type: Modular Administration Building
- Framework: Lightweight Precision-Engineered Steel
Project Overview: Supporting Major Infrastructure in Central Queensland
Manuframe was engaged to design and manufacture the structural steel framing for a new modular Administration Building. This facility serves as a central hub for Austrak during their work on the Rockhampton Ring Road, a critical infrastructure project for the region.
The project highlights our ability to deliver high-quality steel framing solutions that align with the compressed timelines of large-scale civil engineering works.
Precision-Engineered Frame Design
For this build, we developed a custom steel framing system specifically engineered for modular construction. The design focused on three core requirements:
- Rapid Installation: The framing was prefabricated in our Rockhampton workshop to ensure it was ready for immediate assembly, providing program certainty for the Austrak team.
- Transport Efficiency: Because the building was modular, the frame needed to be lightweight yet robust enough to handle transport stresses without shifting or losing structural integrity.
- Seamless Integration: Using advanced 3D design software, we ensured every truss and wall section aligned perfectly with the building’s mechanical and electrical layouts.
Reliability for Regional Queensland Projects
The Rockhampton Ring Road project demands reliability and local expertise. By supplying a TRUECORE® steel frame, Manuframe guaranteed a structure that is 100% termite-proof and non-combustible. This ensures that the administration hub remains a safe, low-maintenance environment for the duration of the project and beyond.
Our central location in Rockhampton allowed us to reduce logistics costs and provide hands-on support, ensuring the framing was delivered on time and within budget.
