Case Study

Hunter Mason needed a hoarding to protect office areas from dust and noise while undergoing an office fitout for Optus in the 727 Collins Street building. The project included blocking off the expansive building atrium within a short period of one week.

Nash Group needed an effective and efficient solution to protect the new granite floors throughout the station while fit out works were being completed including the use of elevated work platforms and heavy boom lifts. Nash typically used 17mm plywood for floor protection when it needed to support heavy equipment.

To ensure a safe environment for visitors and minimise any construction-related inconvenience, Shape faced the challenge of finding a suitable hoarding system to separate the construction area from the lobby. The task was further complicated by the building’s high ceiling of nearly 5 metres, requiring an easy-to-install solution that would ensure a professional appearance and blend seamlessly with the sleek furnishings in the lobby. The hoarding system also needed to be able to be relocated to a different area of the lobby after a few months.

The large warehouse being constructed for Woolworths supermarket for picking and packing online grocery orders, was semi-open, which meant dust would become an issue. They needed to install a temporary barrier that could be easily repositioned and would restrict the movement of dust

throughout the site.

Icon Constructions needed site amenities during construction for a period of 12 months in the basement including offices, lunchrooms, first aid area, toilets and change rooms. Icon required a smart, professional solution while keeping within their tight budget. The available area for the site amenities was challenged by many overhead pipes and cables that needed to be negotiated around. A typical demountable site shed would not fit in the basement. There didn’t seem to be an obvious solution until they discovered FastWall.
