Structural Engineer Consultants, Hera Engineering, who are currently working their magic at Cirque Apartments, and proving why they are leaders in their field explain the engineering feat achieved at Cirque Apartments;

“As Props were finally removed to unveil a magical 4.8m cantilever concrete balcony 230mm thick with no beams! Completely flat slab. Try to beat this if you can!Deflection as predicted has been minimal. This is one of the longest and thinner cantilever slabs ever constructed in Australia. To put this into prospective, engineering books recommend for cantilevers a span to depth ratio smaller than 7. Here we are at 20! Just a bit above recommendations. At Hera Engineering we love to push boundaries. To do so we spend an incredible amount of time on research and we use the best software available on the market. We want to give our clients the best possible outcome without exceeding the budget.” said Matteo Tirapelle
