Engineering & Certification For Dome Shelters, Greenhouses And Animal Husbandry
Croft Structures Pty Ltd operates with a commitment to engineering integrity, ensuring all sheltersāwhether for industrial, agricultural, or horticultural useāmeet the stringent requirements of the Australian regulatory environment.
Engineering Certification & Standards
Safety and longevity are the cornerstones of Croft’s design process. Every structure is engineered to withstand Australiaās diverse and often extreme climatic conditions.
AS/NZS 1170.2:2021 Compliance: All Croft structures are designed, fabricated, and tested to comply with the Australian and New Zealand Standard for Wind Actions (AS/NZS 1170.2:2021). This standard is critical for determining wind loads based on your site’s specific region, terrain, and topographical features.
Site-Specific Engineering: Beyond standard kits, Croft provides engineering reports tailored to the exact location of your project. This includes analysis of regional wind speeds (Regions AāD), terrain categories, and shielding effects to ensure the structure is safe for its specific footprint.
Independent Verification: To guarantee transparency and safety, Croft utilizes independent engineers to certify that every structure is manufactured and built precisely to its design specifications.
Construction & Quality Assurance
The construction process is designed to be as robust as the engineering behind it.
Materials for Endurance: Utilizing hot-dipped galvanized steel frames and industrial-grade, UV-stabilized polyethylene (PE) or PVC fabric covers. These materials are chosen for their high tear resistance, structural stability, and longevity under intense sun exposure.
Quality Management: Processes are guided by rigorous quality assurance to ensure every componentāfrom the steel frame to the tensioning systemāmeets high standards of excellence.
Project Documentation: Upon delivery, you receive a complete project pack, which includes:
Engineered drawings and isometric views.
Comprehensive components checklist.
Step-by-step assembly instructions (for DIY clients).
Maintenance schedules to ensure the structure remains in optimal condition over its 10+ year design life.
Occupational Health & Safety (OHS)
When Croftās professional teams handle your installation, they provide a full suite of safety documentation to ensure your site remains compliant with OHS regulations:
SWMS (Safe Work Method Statements): Detailed protocols for all high-risk activities, including working at heights or utilizing heavy plant equipment.
Permits & Licenses: Provision of all necessary documentation, including hot work permits (where applicable), work licenses, and certificates of currency for insurance and WorkCover.
Professional Installation: Expert crews manage the entire on-site assembly, ensuring the structure is correctly tensioned, anchored, and secured to maintain its engineering certification.
Understanding Compliance
Navigating permits for greenhouses or animal shelters can be complex. Croft acts as a technical partner, providing the blueprints and certification reports that your local council or private building surveyor will require to approve your project.
Are you preparing for a council submission and need a specific wind-load assessment for your site, or would you like to discuss the foundation requirements for a new greenhouse or animal shelter?
