Workshop Design Report: Mechanical Engineering, Semester 1

This report presents a conceptual design for a steel-fabricated workshop, addressing the client's specific requirements. The design incorporates a workshop area, offices, and stores, with a focus on structural integrity, safety, and functionality. Key elements include the layout, dimensions, and material considerations, with the workshop's design accommodating a fifteen-ton safe working load. The report considers the client's specifications for door sizes, height restrictions, and column spacing. Design limitations, such as the absence of detailed staircase information and the depth of the crane hoist, are identified, along with assumptions about material selection and site conditions. The report references key literature and provides a foundation for further development of the workshop design.

1. Project scope overview
1.1 Introduction
In this document it will show a conceptual design of new steel fabricated workshop with
offices and stores. This design is in strict adherence to the requirements of the client (Hubka,
2015). The sketch layout includes a detailed of all the structures such as the workshop, stores
and office. It has been created with aspect such as safety of the structure, and the design has
typical features of simplicity, unity as well as necessity and it fulfil the intended function of
the client (Hubka, 2015).
1.2 Review of the client requirements
The layout of design is based on the requirements of the client they are as follows;
i. There is with a safe working load of fifteen tones which would provide a coverage of
workshop areas that is to be column free.
ii. Two doors 11m by 7m high are provided in west and south elevations.
iii. On the design it satisfies on the height requirements for the maximum height
requirement.
 The maximum overall height in the workshop is limited to 15m.
 The maximum spacing for the perimeter column is 10m.
 The office and store areas have two levels with minimum floor height 4m.
iv. On the minimum approach is 1.5m
 Depth of the crane is 1.5 and height of 8m from the floor level.

Insurance
Venue owner
Local community
Environment
Workers
Project sponsor

 There is omission of some information related to the design especially on the stairs for
the offices and the stores. This is important to know the amount of the materials that
would be used (Zhang & Liu, 2017)
 The depth of the crane hoist is restricted to 1.5 M with clearance of 8M this could be
increased.
1.5 Design Limitations and Assumptions
Limitations:
 The location of the building. The site is located in the East Arm/Middle Arm area of
Darwin Habour. There is need to determine the wind speed and the pressure.
 The ground water is only encountered 3m below the ground level.
 The supplier of the materials
Assumptions
 The choice of the material used depends on the approval of the client.
 The dimension of the layout design of the workshop has been presented in the sketch in
fig. 1 and they are in Meters.
