Engineering marvel emerges from Morwell construction site

Progress on the $30 million Latrobe Valley GovHub project in Morwell, Victoria, has taken a dramatic step forward with the installation of 18 prefabricated steel façade modules.

维多利亚州莫威尔的拉托伯河谷GovHub项目耗资3000万美元，安装了18个预制钢façade模块，取得了显著进展。

Each module measures 14.5 metres high, weighs four tonnes and is made from approximately 2.2 kilometres of steel, making them some of the largest light gauge steel frame façade structures in the world.

每个模块高14.5米，重达4吨，由大约2.2公里的钢材制成，使其成为世界上最大的轻钢框架façade结构之一。

The team at Castlerock worked very closely with Dynamic Steel Frames and Industry Cladding to design and construct these bespoke spiderweb-style frames.

A true engineering feat, the innovative modular solution was the result of a year’s worth of planning and design, said Castlerock Property Head of Construction and Latrobe Valley GovHub Project Director, Aaron Ballenger.

Mr Ballenger said the sheer size of each module required state-of-the art technology and the highest level of craftmanship to bring them to life.

巴兰格先生说，每个模块的尺寸都需要最先进的技术和最高水平的工艺才能使它们栩栩如生。

“The team has worked long and hard in both the preparation and fabrication of the modules and it took a huge collective effort to execute what was a technically complex and highly detailed design,” he said.

他说:“这个团队在模块的准备和制作上花了很长时间和努力，花了巨大的集体努力来执行这个技术复杂、非常详细的设计。”

“The execution of the module lift onsite was also a logistical challenge, so to see these impressive structures safely installed has been very satisfying for everyone involved.”

Castlerock’s Adam Bronts said the project would make an important contribution to the local economy, both during construction and following completion.

“It’s wonderful to see this flagship project on track to help revitalise the Latrobe Valley when it opens later this year by supporting economic growth, creating jobs and driving the industries of the future,” said Mr Bronts.

“模块提升的现场执行也是一个后勤挑战，所以看到这些令人印象深刻的结构安全安装，对所有参与人员来说都非常满意。”
