Wind Tunnel Study for the Pier Pavilion at Barangaroo

Posted on September 25, 2025

 

We would like to extend our congratulations to Besley & Spresser on receiving the National Commercial Medal at the Concrete Institute of Australia 2025 Excellence in Concrete Awards for the Pier Pavilion at Barangaroo. Windtech is delighted to have collaborated with B&S, delivering tailored wind tunnel studies for this unique harbourside hub.  The Pavilion is a striking architectural landmark designed to inspire both connection and creativity.

As part of our involvement in the Pier Pavilion at Barangaroo, Windtech conducted a Pedestrian Wind Environment Wind Tunnel Study to assess wind conditions at key outdoor areas within and around the development. Testing was carried out at Windtech’s boundary layer wind tunnel facility using a 1:400 scale model of the Pavilion. The wind tunnel study confirmed that wind conditions across the critical outdoor locations would be suitable for their intended use, with no adverse impacts identified.

In addition, Windtech provided valuable inputs for the determination of wind loading for the structural design of the Pavilion
