About
I am a Draughtsman who has completed two years of Computer Aided Draughting & Design at CTU Training Solutions Stellenbosch. I am now actively searching for an architectural job where I can enhance my abilities and skills in a practical setting, while also interacting with people and gaining a deeper understanding of the architectural industry. I am willing to work in any position that meets these expectations, and I am open to all training and guidance that will help me succeed in this role.
Petrol Station
The client requested to design a Petrol Filling Station Canopy that must be fabricated from steel profiles and cladding. The size of the canopy should be approximately 18m x 8m and consist of 3 petrol pumps. I researched different cladding that can be used on the roof and decided on a steel flat roof. Research was done on different cladding for the roof of the steel structure. In my research conducted a flat steel roof is the most material-saving and cost-saving. The steel roof is also capable of long-term exposure to wind and sun making it low maintenance. The minimum height from Ground Floor to Ceiling of Petrol Filling Station Canopy is 4.710 metres. All Renderings done in REVIT.
