Engineering city skylines<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The tall building market continues to evolve, with a new era of landmark mega-towers and super-slender structures delivered in dense urban environments, balancing aesthetic ambition with economic, social and environmental performance.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Each project is bespoke. The challenges of height – wind turbulence, lateral acceleration, time-dependent movement and complex ground conditions – demand technical integration across structure, architecture, services and construction methodology, alongside resolution of constrained sites, phased programmes and increasingly stringent performance criteria for occupant comfort and long-term resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A global portfolio<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

BG&E, now a part of SYSTRA, bolsters this capability \u2013 having shaped city skylines for nearly half a century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Their expertise originated in Australia with Central Park Tower in Perth, 249 metres and the tallest building in Australia at completion. In Sydney, BG&E played a key role in the adaptive reuse of Quay Quarter Tower (54 storeys), where a simultaneous demolish-and-rebuild and retain-and-refurbish methodology preserved approximately two-thirds of the original structure, substantially reducing embodied carbon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

There is also significant experience in the Middle East, with structural engineering services provided for The Index in Dubai (85 storeys), Vision Tower in Dubai (71 storeys), Addax Tower in Abu Dhabi (65 storeys) and JW Marriott Marquis Hotel in Dubai (80 storeys).<\/p>\n<\/div>
