STS Structural has successfully delivered multiple Taco Bell fast food restaurants around the Brisbane area for various builders.

STS Structural worked with the construction team to help deliver an efficient Truecore® steel framed building, incorporating the experience of previous designs. Each fast food restaurant is custom designed for the site so are each unique, bringing their own challenges to be overcome. The challenges on this project included matching the frames to all round concrete hobs and custom innovative tie downs in areas of high uplift loads.

Taco Bell East Ipswich

STS Structural has successfully delivered multiple Taco Bell fast food restaurants around the Brisbane area for various builders.

STS Structural worked closely with the design and fabrication team to provide the engineering design, certification, and on site structural compliance inspections for the Taco Bell at East Ipswich. The structure was made of Truecore® light gauge steel frames. Design innovations eradicated the use of any heavy hot rolled steel sections, which reduced craning requirements, and allowing the structure to be erected quickly. The challenges on this project included very shallow roof trusses with a large number of service penetrations, large open plan dining area with considerable glazing and high walls, and the ‘bell tower’ which was positioned on the roof of the dining area and required concealed support as it did not extend to the ground.

Yarrabilba Fire and Rescue Station

STS Structural were engaged by the frame supplier to design and certify the Truecore® cold formed steel framing for the new Yarrabilba Fire and Rescue Station. The design integrated a cold-formed steel portal frame structure into a traditional steel framed building, with each construction style supporting the strengths of the other. This allowed delivery lead times to be reduced as each supplier could fabricate in parallel. By using STS Structural, our understanding of portal frame design allowed the builder to consolidate his engineering certification and modify the shed design so that lateral bracing could be removed and replaced by the stiffness of the adjoining buildings. The result was an integrated hybrid between a traditional warehouse or shed type construction and residential / office space style wall frame and truss style construction.
