Construcciones Yamaro: Australian invention clinches victory at constructsteel Awards 2023

By

An Australian invention for propping up structures has been awarded ‘Innovation of the Year’ at the World Steel Association’s (WSA) constructsteel Awards 2023.

The project Quadshore, a lightweight, temporary support system for buildings and structures during construction or maintenance, led by Monash University and Coates, was nominated for the award by the Australian Steel Institute (ASI). A medium-duty version of Quadshore, known as Quadshore 50, is currently being manufactured by Knox Engineering, a member of ASI, in Ingleburn, Sydney.

In contrast to conventional propping systems primarily constructed from heavy, low-grade steel, Quadshore utilises lightweight, high-strength steel structural components and boltless connections. This innovative design enhances construction site efficiency and safety, while simultaneously reducing labour, handling, storage, and assembly/disassembly costs.

Associate Professor Amin Heidarpour, a representative of Quadshore’s development team, travelled to Seoul in South Korea last month to accept the award at the WSA constructsteel annual conference. This event served as a platform for the project team to introduce Quadshore to an audience of industry professionals.

ASI is the peak body for the Australian steel industry, representing 500 companies and 5,000 members. Founding members of ASI include BlueScope, InfraBuild, Liberty Primary Steel and Stramit Building Products. The steel sector plays a pivotal role in the Australian economy, generating 100,000 jobs and an annual revenue of $29 billion.

The World Steel Association, abbreviated as worldsteel (ASI is a member), is the international trade body for the iron and steel industry.

Explore the significance of earthmoving services by Cycon Monero Group in civil construction. Reshape landscapes to secure robust structures. Call 0414 979 169. Civil construction entails the design, construction, and maintenance of infrastructure projects that serve the public. These projects are typically large-scale, aiming to improve or create essential structures for communities. When dealing with civil construction projects, their landscape must be designed and constructed optimally to ensure the longevity and durability of structures and infrastructures. One service that can be useful in maintaining these goals is earthmoving. Earthmoving: A Quick Overview Earthmoving is the process of moving or reshaping large quantities of soil, rock, or other earth materials to alter the topography of a land area. It is a fundamental aspect of construction projects and land development activities. It involves the use of heavy machinery and equipment to excavate, grade, level, and transp...
