WISE – Women in Structural Engineering

George Adams — Tue, 28 Mar 2023 03:34:00 +0000

Mariah O’Looney, Tatiana and Simran from MM Structural Engineering attended the Engineers Australia – Engineering your Future event at the Powerhouse Museum MAAS. This event is to promote STEM and our future female engineers by mentoring and showing how interesting a career in engineering can be. The students were guided (and guided us!) on the modelling of dams and turbines among other renewable energy sources where engineers are leaders on carbon reduction.

Bondi Pavilion opens

George Adams — Wed, 28 Dec 2022 03:28:00 +0000

We got a first look, tour of the completed works at Bondi Pavilion with Waverley Council, Buildcorp and TZG Architects. This project was so challenging, interesting and politically sensitive and we have worked on it since 2015. Great to see everyone hard work come to this finale.

MM Structural Engineering does it again, Sydney to the Gong and funds raised for MS Australia. We love this event and from cycling veterans to newbies on wheels the 90km approx. cycle is a great event to participate in. Always.

Paint n’ Sip

Getting the right hemisphere of our brains going with some art and creativity! Not a measurement, Australian Standard, kN or practical constraint in sight.

Precast Concrete Tour

It was a pleasure to get a tour of the Alpha Precast Facility in Sydney with our friends at Chenchow Little Architects. Many thanks to Ludo at Alpha Precast for showing us their preferred details and facilities to help optimise the process and to gather some insight and further our knowledge where we can help detail around the common problems that occur on projects.

International Women in Engineering Day 2021

George Adams — Wed, 23 Jun 2021 05:01:05 +0000

We had a great presentation today from our Women in Engineering, to help recognise great work, share experiences, stories, discuss our workplace and learn about technical structural issues.

Our presenters Kathleen, Dilshad, Tatiana, Miranda and our Associate Director-Mariah, gave a detailed presentation on a topic they wanted to discuss. All was shared with the world via our social media and video streamed for those interested. A great office event to recognise International Women in Engineering Day 2021.

Happy Birthday Marrickville Town Hall

George Adams — Sat, 13 Feb 2021 00:06:36 +0000

Marrickville Town Hall turns 99 years old this month. We recently had the privilege of doing a full structural measure up, design analysis check and load capacity review of the steel truss roof on this old dame. An interesting moment in the history of steel construction circa 1922. Upon close inspection you can pick that the connections are a mix of hot rivets installed in the workshop or on ground, with steel bolts then placed to finalise the joint upon install. Great to work with Inner West Council on this heritage structure.

Biketober Winners

George Adams — Thu, 12 Nov 2020 02:51:06 +0000

This year we not only took out 1st place in the bicycle NSW Biketober challenge but the whole event across all participants saved 24,130 kg in CO2. Well done to all. A good start, more to do.

Tommy from our office was featured on the Biketober website here and we enjoyed a celebratory ride around the Bay run to mark the end of another great October promoting cycling to work! We currently have over 50% of staff commuting via bike every day and are very proud of this.

A quiet day

Formal Friday & Pasta Tower Competition

MM Structural Engineering — Tue, 18 Aug 2020 07:06:27 +0000

As we had not held any ‘real world’ office social event in over 6 months we thought it was about time we did! Zoom quarantini drinks were fun and even the online trivia quiz night we did was great but we decided to hold a ‘Formal Friday’ evening drinks and games night as our office is well socially distanced. The world renowned “Pasta Tower challenge” was held. How high can you go in 15 minutes? Some didn’t hold up so well its true (this in no way reflects on what we do professionally).

ACSE Quiz Winners

MM Structural Engineering — Wed, 13 Nov 2019 06:52:36 +0000

We had all of our brainiacs gathered onto one team to compete at the annual Association of Consulting Structural Engineers – Table Quiz. We won!

A close nail biter down to the last “Buzzer Round” and in the end we sealed the deal by correctly answering:

“In the Navy what does PO stand for?”

Not a bad win for a firm of 20, up against the much larger firms of hundreds of engineers. Thanks for a great night as always ACSE!
