"Bending over backwards gets results"
"From a 1930's warehouse to high tech facility at Hendon"
The Project was converting a 1930's industrial building in Adelaide's western suburbs into a high technology manufacturing facility. Steel Roofing experts had to put forth great efforts to ensure the success of this project, it required 7900m2 of KingKlip 700 zincalume roofing. The sheets were crank curved on site producing the 7.5 metre and 25 metre radius. Fielders also produced 3000m2 of Span form side cladding.The solution was the engineers extensively conducted tests to ensure that our materials could not only be curved to suit the building but also that the aesthetic character of the building was retained. Project Architect Paul Boyce, of Cheesman Architects said the building design had to accommodate specific internal spatial requirements, which impacted considerably on the roof form. This was an intriguing article so close to our major assignment, his provided me with some handy hint and design tips and solutions to my major project. Also a Lovely looking structure.
