Office building, Ryrie Street

A new office building in Ryrie St. Geelong is currently under construction. These photos were hard to get as the site was barricaded off by solid temporary walls about 3m high, so I had to test my climbing skills.


Here you can see the concrete columns supporting the I-beams, as well as the steel purlins above the I-beams supporting the roofing. Note also the red service pipes connected to the purlins and I-beams.


Just a close-up of some rust..




.. and the purlin connection to the I-beam.


Upper level being constructed, with the same form of concrete columns supporting the beams.

Here is a connection of two beams at an angle to the column. Not quite sure what the connection member is between the column and the rafter, but it is the key to the connection.

That green barricade wall made life difficult.

I-beam bolted to a tilt-up concrete panel.

Could not locate the name of the architect unfortunately.
