Scope of work by Antec

Supply of approximately 200,000 shear studs.

Background

The Ribbon is an iconic mixed-use complex with the W Sydney hotel and a new IMAX cinema, distinguished by its flowing form on the Darling Harbour foreshore.

Challenge

Tight site geometry, curved forms and staged façade works demanded precise sequencing for deck and slab pours.

Antec’s solution

Studs supplied in coordinated drops with QA records and guidance for welding to curved and sloped steel members.

Implementation

• Zoned deliveries to match build sequence
• Documentation aligned to consultant hold points
• Coordination with façade and structure interfaces

Benefits and results

• Supported programme in a constrained waterfront site
• Consistent composite performance across complex geometries

Key takeaways

• Complex architectural forms benefit from disciplined connector supply
