Hercules Engineering produces one of the
Asia-Pacific’s widest ranges of slip joints and
bearings that combine low-friction thermoplastics
with durable metal facings as a cost-efficient
solution for protection against additional
stresses, caused by: frequently occurring
effects of climate change, such as extreme temperatures,
wild weather and natural disasters,
and demographic changes, such as population
growth, which leads to increased vehicle traffic,
which places greater stresses on carparks and
road and rail infrastructure.
Within industrial structures, changes in load
can be induced by the operation of heavy plant
including conveyors, motors, turbines and
reticulation systems found throughout mining,
energy, oil and gas, food and beverage, primary
processing, manufacturing, water and waste
water utility and wider industrial uses. In urban
areas, different forces can be generated by
transport and infrastructure, changing loads as
building uses change and highly variable site
conditions.
“Sometimes the best answer is provided
cost-efficiently by a stock bearing. Sometimes –
as in the case of partially cast-in-place bearings
– the solution is a little more particular and
demands an individually engineered approach
in conjunction with the building specifiers,
who know the optimum safety and structural
requirements their individual project demands.”
New vertical bearing pads
Stock versions of the bearings are in use
throughout Australasia and South Asia, in
structures ranging from industrial and resources
industry buildings, bridges and civil engineering
works through to landmark projects such
as Australia’s Parliament House, hospitals,
walkways and high-rise regional headquarters.

FOR FACILITIES INTEGRATE
Do you design, operate, maintain
and upgrade buildings, facilities and
infrastructure? Or do you design,
install and integrate AV and ICT
systems? If so there’s a unique
trade show on September 25-26,
2018 not to be missed.
Taking place at the ASB
Showgrounds, Facilities Integrate
gathers all the major players in one
place so you can try and buy the
latest equipment, source the best
suppliers, network with potential
business partners, and stay on top
of what’s going on in your industry.
Upskill and expand your knowledge
on topics showcasing the latest
trends and insights at the free
seminar series.
Facilities Integrate combines the
two rapidly converging worlds of
building design and construction,
with the solutions and services
provided by the computer and
networking industry. It is an
invaluable resource for businesses
and provides a unique showcase
for those who design, operate,
maintain and upgrade buildings,
facilities and infrastructure, or
design, install and integrate AV and
ICT systems.
What makes Facilities Integrate
unique is the breadth of what it
covers: building management,
cleaning, energy management, fire
protection, grounds care, HVAC,
health and safety, maintenance
technologies, security, storage,
waste management; AV system
integration, building automation
and control, video projection and
display, digital signage, unified communications,
audio systems and
entertainment and more.
Bringing buildings into the 21st
century is all about connectivity,
convenience, efficiency and
ergonomics. And there’s no better
place to discover what’s possible
than at Facilities Integrate 2018.
