During the design process of one of Australia's tallest buildings MEL Consultants was commissioned to perform a wind-tunnel study to check work done by others. This peer review methodology for tall landmark buildings is a common approach used by many designers, and MEL personnel have been involved in work like this for several "supertall" buildings around the world in the height range of 300 to 600 m. 
MEL Consultants investigated the cladding pressures and pedestrian environmental conditions for this major Lend Lease residential complex in Bowen Hills. The five towers are on a common podium overlooking the RNA Show Grounds in an inner suburb of Brisbane. The 1:400 model had over 850 pressure taps from which data were collected to assist in the design of the glazing and roofing components. 
MEL Consultants was awarded the wind-engineering consultancy for Billbergia's 292-m, residential Skytower and adjacent shorter hotel, located on Margaret Street in Brisbane. The scope of work for both buildings included the assessment of the environmental pedestrian-wind conditions on and around the project, a comprehensive aeroelastic wind-tunnel model study for structural wind loads, and wind-tunnel model measurements of pressures to provide facade design pressures over this tallest residential building in Brisbane. 
MEL Consultants was awarded the wind-engineering consultancy for GPT's 195-m, One One One Eagle Street office tower located in Brisbane. The tower was constructed by Leighton Contractors. The scope of work included the assessment of the environmental pedestrian-wind conditions, a comprehensive aeroelastic wind-tunnel model study for structural wind loads, and wind-tunnel model measurements of pressures to provide facade design pressures over this 50-storey commercial building.
