About us
ECSEC | East Coast Structural Engineering is a specialist structural engineering consultancy delivering practical, technically rigorous and buildable solutions for building projects across Australia.
Led by Senior Structural Engineer Luay Al-loos, ECSEC | East Coast Structural Engineering provides senior-level involvement from concept development and structural analysis through documentation and construction support. The practice has particular expertise in reinforced concrete, post-tensioned concrete, transfer structures and complex slab systems.
Our approach integrates structural safety, serviceability, durability, constructability and commercial efficiency. Designs are developed in close coordination with architects, builders, developers and other project consultants to provide clear, coordinated and construction-ready outcomes.
Post-Tensioning Analysis and
Design to AS 3600
We provide comprehensive post-tensioning analysis and design services in accordance with AS 3600 - Concrete Structures, delivering efficient, economical, and code-compliant structural solutions for commercial, residential, industrial, and infrastructure projects. Our expertise spans the complete design process, including tendon profiling, prestress force optimisation, serviceability and strength limit state checks, crack control, deflection analysis, punching shear assessment, and construction-stage evaluations. Using advanced structural analysis software, rigorous engineering methods, and industry best practices, we ensure that post-tensioned slabs, beams, transfer structures, and podium decks achieve optimum performance, durability, and constructability throughout their intended service life.
Our designs are tailored to meet project-specific requirements while maximising span capabilities, reducing material consumption, and enhancing overall structural efficiency. We collaborate closely with architects, developers, contractors, and consulting engineers to deliver practical, buildable, and cost-effective post-tensioning solutions from initial concept through to construction and handover. Typical services include:
Post-tensioned slab and beam design
Tendon layout and stressing calculations
Serviceability and strength verification to AS 3600
Deflection and crack control assessment
Punching shear and detailed reinforcement design
Construction-stage and long-term performance analysis
Design documentation, shop drawings and peer review
