Quay Quarter Tower Transformed
Wind engineering, including wind tunnel studies, is conducted most commonly during the design phase of a project. As repurposing, adaptation, and extension of existing buildings are adopted more to meet sustainability goals, wind engineering can play a larger role during construction by demonstrating performance targets are being achieved, while safety and reliability requirements are met. Quay Quarter Tower (QQT) in Sydney, Australia, is a notable example of this and serves as a model of successful integration of structural engineering, wind engineering, and construction practices.
