Facade Fixings Review at 61–63 Haig St, Southbank

CESCON was engaged to inspect the facade systems of a 35-storey residential tower at 61–63 Haig Street, Southbank, after connection fixings were reported to have failed.

Our assessment showed that screwed splice connections had withdrawn under cyclic wind loading, a significant risk to public safety and compliance. We recommended durable bolted splice systems that remove the risk of progressive failure, restoring compliance and protecting residents and the public.
