Synchronised Bridge jacking
Synchronised jacking requires meticulous planning, precise setup and careful control, particularly when managing multiple lifting points simultaneously. Unlike conventional jacking methods, synchronised systems demand greater attention to load distribution, displacement monitoring and coordinated movement to maintain structural stability throughout the operation. For this project, a synchronised jacking system incorporating multiple interconnected jacking points, each equipped with displacement monitoring and pressure control. No permanent jacking points were available so temporary jacking brackets were installed to provide the necessary support for the hydraulic jacks, adding another layer of technical complexity to the operation.
Armadale Line Upgrade Alliance (ALUA) - Beam Jacking
Struxit played a key role in the successful completion of the ALUA Elevated Rail Upgrade in Perth by expertly jacking over 130 beams to facilitate the installation of spherical and elastomeric bearings. To ensure precise, safe, and controlled lifting operations, we utilised a synchronised hydraulic system, allowing for seamless coordination across multiple jacking points. This approach minimised risks and maintained the structural integrity of the beams throughout the process. We deployed a diverse range of hydraulic jacks with capacities of 60 tons, 100 tons, and 200 tons, carefully selecting the appropriate equipment for each task to meet the project’s exacting requirements. Struxit’s expertise and meticulous planning ensured smooth execution, delivering optimal outcomes on this critical infrastructure project.
Bridge jacking and bearing installation
Working within confined spaces presents unique challenges, particularly when significant lifting loads are required. For this project, Struxit utilised multiple smaller hydraulic jacks in place of a single large-capacity jack, allowing the required lifting force to be achieved within the limited space available. The smaller jacks also offered improved manoeuvrability and easier handling, simplifying transportation, positioning and installation in restricted working environments. This project utilised 60ton, 100ton and 200ton locking collar jacks.
Through careful planning, controlled load distribution and precise jacking operations, our team safely lifted the structure to facilitate the installation of new spherical bearings, demonstrating our ability to develop practical and efficient solutions for complex site constraints.
Precast beam void repairs
We successfully repaired voids on four pre-cast beams using a specialised vacuum method, effectively mitigating the expense of replacing the beams entirely. The repair was crucial, as manufacturing new beams would have resulted in significant construction delays and rework costs. Our skilled team designed and constructed high-quality formwork that maintained negative pressure, ensuring the complete removal of any trapped air within the voids. This precise and controlled approach not only restored the structural integrity of the beams but also preserved the project timeline and budget.
S2M - Bridge jacking and Bearing installation
Struxit assisted the S2M project with installation of their bridge bearing for the pedestrian bridge. 8no of bearings were successfully installed with isolation pads and washers included. Enabling installation meant supporting the structure with hydraulic jacks and levelling it to final cast level. All work fronts were accessed through EWPs on road and RRVs on rail. Interface with the road and rail traffic was carefully navigated through planning, positive communication and adhering to isolation protocols and timetables.
Precast panel realignment
Even minor misalignments in precast elements can present significant challenges, particularly once installed in a high-rise structure. For this project, Struxit was engaged to realign an existing precast concrete panel that was approximately 20 mm out of position on one side. Using a 60-tonne lock-ring hydraulic jack, our team carefully lifted and repositioned the panel to achieve the required alignment. This project demonstrates our ability to develop practical, precise lifting solutions for complex structural challenges where accuracy, control and careful execution are essential.
Swimming pool jacking
Lifting a swimming pool within a boutique apartment building presented a unique structural challenge, requiring careful planning and precise control. Struxit utilised lock-ring hydraulic jacks and a synchronised lifting methodology to safely raise the pool structure in a controlled manner, creating the necessary clearance for the installation of its vibration dampers. By coordinating multiple lifting points and carefully managing structural movement, our team delivered a practical solution within a challenging working environment, demonstrating Struxit's expertise in specialised lifting operations where precision and safety are paramount.
