MJ Engineering Projects are one of the leading companies engaged in remedial building maintenance for commercial buildings. The years of experience we have in the industry have proven to be a great asset to our clients as we can provide them with high quality and innovative solutions. In a recent project undertaken by MJ Engineering, extensive repair works were undertaken on a building at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Kensington, NSW. There were extensive repairs to the concrete facade, which included the installation of cathodic protection systems to prevent concrete cancer and spalling. After the renovations were complete, the building looked and functioned as if it was brand new, with minimal disruption to the university’s daily operations.
MJ Engineering Projects has been engaged in the design, construction and construction management of one of two major buildings on the Kensington campus of the University of New South Wales (UNSW). There was the severe deterioration of the sandstone fin walls in part due to concrete spalling, asbestos joints within the sandstone fin walls, and concrete spalling in the concrete cavity. This project, there were a number of challenges due to the fact that rectification works had to be carried out while university semesters were still running, and there was a high demand for pedestrian access in and around these areas. The work had to be undertaken between the hours of 5:00 am and 2:30 pm, and any noise had to be stopped by 9:00 am.
Our work was focused on the installation of cathodic protection to the concrete spalling areas as well as the repair of the asbestos joints as well as the sandstone fin walls. We have utilised our extensive knowledge and expertise in this field to ensure that the building has been restored to its former glory.
MJ Engineering Projects was able to determine that asbestos joints and severe concrete spalling posed a serious safety concern to students, so it was necessary to start the remediation works as soon as possible.
As part of the tendering process, a reputable contractor, who specialises in remedial works in construction, was retained to perform the full scope of the works as part of the select tender process. In response to the client’s requirement, MJ Engineering Projects was engaged to perform the role of Superintendent to ensure that a high quality of workmanship was carried out according to the technical specification.
