Every construction project begins with a clear purpose: turning a complex vision into tangible, built results. Bridging that gap with precision and reliability is where true engineering excellence lies.

At Hadeed Engineering, we are the trusted partner that translates ambitious concepts into fully realised designs and structures. Based in Melbourne and led by experienced chartered engineers, our expertise covers Structural Design, advanced Building Information Modeling (BIM), Shop Detailing, and Temporary Works Design across structural steel, metal works, and reinforced concrete.

In this blog, we take you behind the scenes of our integrated process and show how each of our core services contributes to a project’s lifecycle to deliver dependable, efficient, and precise outcomes to projects in Australia and beyond, backed by a leading name in structural engineering.

A Behind-the-Scenes of Hadeed Engineering’s Projects

I. Structural Design: Engineering Resilient Foundations

A successful structure depends on rigorous analysis and intelligent design. At Hadeed Engineering, our structural design is based on a complete understanding of load behaviour, material performance, and site conditions to make sure every element is engineered for durability and precision.

Using advanced Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Building Information Modeling (BIM), our engineers simulate real-world conditions long before construction begins. This digital-first approach allows us to:

• Test and validate design choices under complex load conditions
• Identify challenges early, preventing on-site issues and delays
• Optimise materials, ensure efficient use of steel, concrete, and metal works without compromising integrity

Every structural design project of ours adheres to the latest Australian and international standards, with safety and constructability guiding every decision.

II. BIM: Digital Precision and Coordination

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the backbone of coordination and decision-making across all project stages at Hadeed Engineering. By integrating design and construction data into a single, intelligent 3D model, we ensure that every stakeholder works from a single, accurate source of truth.

Our BIM services cater to the Structural Steel, Metal Works, and Reinforced Concrete sectors, enabling seamless collaboration between engineers and fabricators alike. Each model captures every bolt, weld, and connection detail to improve constructability and reduce rework.

III. Shop Detailing: Turning Designs into Deliverables

Once a design is approved, precision moves from the digital model to fabrication. Hadeed Engineering’s shop detailing service bridges this transition with utmost accuracy, ensuring every element is ready for manufacture and on-site installation.

Our team uses advanced 3D modeling tools to produce detailed shop drawings that capture the geometry and assembly sequences. These drawings help fabricators and contractors work with confidence and precision, reducing ambiguity and keeping timelines on track.

IV. Temporary Works Design: Engineering for Safety and Stability

Construction projects need temporary structures to support safe and efficient delivery. At Hadeed Engineering, our temporary works design receives the same technical rigor as permanent structures because stability during construction is just as critical as performance after completion.

Our engineers design and certify shoring systems, scaffolding, crane platforms, and formworks. Each structure is engineered for:

• Constructability – simplified installation and removal on busy sites
• Durability – resistance to all anticipated load conditions during use
• Compliance – alignment with Australian codes and project safety standards

Project Highlights: Our Expertise in Action

Hadeed Engineering’s project portfolio reflects the depth and adaptability of its engineering expertise. Across infrastructure, commercial, industrial, and international developments, every project demonstrates advanced modeling and dependable delivery from concept to completion:

I. Australian Infrastructure Projects

A) Level Crossing Removal – Coolstore Road

As part of the Pakenham Roads Upgrade, this 190-tonne project eliminated a dangerous and congested level crossing. Hadeed Engineering delivered comprehensive BIM and shop detailing services, producing accurate 3D models and fabrication drawings for key components including restraint blocks, struts, and bearing plates.

B) Princes Freeway Interchanges Upgrade

This 128-tonne infrastructure upgrade improved traffic efficiency and safety across major freeway connections. We provided precise 3D models and shop detailing for structural steel elements such as gantries, barrier rails, and screens, ensuring fabrication accuracy and streamlined on-site installation.

C) South Geelong to Waurn Ponds Duplication

As part of the $1 billion upgrade to the Geelong Line, Hadeed Engineering supplied detailed 3D models and shop drawings for gantries, ladders, walkways, and guardrails. The 109-tonne project supports safer, more frequent regional rail services and demonstrates our role in delivering infrastructure that improves community mobility.

D) Melbourne Airport Elevated Road & Forecourt Stage 2

For this 1,076-tonne public infrastructure project, we provided quantity takeoff services that supported the construction of elevated road networks and forecourt structures at the Melbourne Airport.

II. Commercial and Industrial Projects

A) Lithocraft’s Canopy Extension

Hadeed Engineering delivered detailed shop drawings for a canopy extension at Lithocraft’s warehouse in Truganina. The team proactively identified design challenges and developed practical solutions to ensure uninterrupted project progress.

B) Kingston Aquatic and Leisure Centre

This 274-tonne commercial facility required precise quantity takeoff services to support complex roof and frame construction. Hadeed’s engineering ensured efficient material use and streamlined coordination during the design phase.

C) Surf Coast Aquatic and Health Centre

We provided quantity takeoff services for the 200-tonne structure, supporting the development of a key community health and recreation facility in regional Victoria.

III. International Projects

A) Edison International Academy – Qatar

This 133-tonne educational facility demonstrates Hadeed’s agility in adapting to overseas standards and tight delivery schedules. The team provided structural design and shop detailing to optimise existing foundations and deliver within strict timeframes.

B) Police College Skylight, Doha – Qatar

Hadeed delivered a sophisticated structural design and complete shop drawings for the 110-tonne skylight structure, balancing design ambition with strict budget and technical requirements.

C) Titan Cement Coal Mill – Egypt

This 106-tonne industrial project required integrated BIM and shop detailing for complex steel structures supporting heavy manufacturing equipment. Hadeed’s coordination ensured exact alignment between mechanical systems and structural components.
