Truss time

Photos by Sean Ingram

It's truss time at the Jackman Law Building construction site. The trusses are one of the more complicated engineering pieces to construct for this award-winning design, as they support the nine-metre, three-storey section of the building that will be 'floating' in mid-air.

Interestingly, when the entire three-storey cantilievered section is in place, the weight will pull the whole building about 20 mm to the south.

The trusses visible in these photos form the walls of the new Moot Court.
