Hickory Building Systems
Integrated, Prefabricated Structural Delivery
Presented by Shan Kumar, Principal Engineer – Innovation, Research & Development, Hickory Group
LA TROBE TOWER, MELBOURNE
CASE STUDY: Application of an integrated,
prefabricated structural building system to construct a 44 storey
Melbourne building
Engineers – Give themselves to the community
• We build Hospitals
• We build Roads & Bridges
• We provide shelter to the community
• We provide good drinking water
• We be creative and innovative to build a safe, cost effective structure in a timely manner.
Hickory Prefab – Our Journey • Prefabrication allowed
Hickory to use our combined resources to deliver projects faster, more sustainably and more safely
• Process began with panelized UB system for low to mid-rise buildings
• Over 16 buildings of 2000+ modules completed
3:East, Bosisto Street
Stella B17, Perth WA One9 Hall St, Moonee Ponds
Little Hero, Melbourne
Case Study: La Trobe Tower
• 44 level building
• 19 month contract
• 27 months if built conventionally
Key structural
system elements:
Rapid shear wall/core construction
system, hybrid system using prefabricated
wall & shotcreting
Prefabricated, sliding load-bearing walls
assembled between modules
Lightweight concrete floor system to
enable ease of transportation & erection
Preassembled curtain wall system as part
of the module
Fully finished & fitted modular bathroom
pods (SYNC Pod)
Shotcrete Specification
• ACI C 660 - Shotcrete Nozzelmen Certification
• Valid 5 years ACI / 3 years MTQ
• Core Grading:
Installation of internal precast walls -Sliding of load bearing precast
Steel column installation – L1
Evening Installation Process 17m x 4.5m x 3.0m high module (22 ton)

Sync Bathroom Pod System
• Subassembled bathrooms
developed for use in
conventional or modular builds
Highpoint Hurstville NSW
Sydney Uni Student Accom
Bathrooms for John Holland
Sync Bathroom Pod System
Sync pods used by Hickory and other major builders across Australia to gain
on time, cost and quality

HBS – Key Benefits • Less time and labour than a conventional in-situ approach.
• Majority of work performed in a controlled factory environment:
- Improves quality
- Reduces downtime due to inclement weather
- Improves safety by reducing work at heights
• Site logistics improved, as majority of construction materials
delivered to the point of fabrication, resulting in
- better trade coordination on site
- Improved vertical movement / less reliance on alimak
- Less onsite storage required
