Key Outcomes
- Early completion with the project finished ahead of schedule
- Minimal disruptions through effective noise and dust control
- Efficient material use eliminating on-site storage needs
Background
Situated prominently in Brisbane City, this 24-storey A-Grade commercial office tower is a notable landmark. Valmont was contracted to reconfigure and reduce the floor plan for a long term client.
Challenge
With the tight deadline, Valmont needed to minimise any disruptions to neighbouring live office operations, which required separating the work site to contain noise and dust. Additionally, the client needed to protect the floor during the removal of the staircase and from scaffolding and potential debris.
The limited storage space on site meant that deliveries needed to be carefully planned to supply necessary protection and temporary walling materials to the site when required to keep the project on track.
Protecta Fleece protects stairs during stair infill project.
Solution
By utilising the FastWall hoarding system, Valmont completed installation swiftly, allowing construction works to commence ahead of schedule.
Dividing deliveries into the exact FastWall components required to complete each floor and precise delivery times. This meant Valmont did not need to take up valuable space storing materials which were not required yet.
To combat dust and noise, Valmont deployed a combination of ZipWall® and the FastWall floor-to-ceiling hoarding system. This tandem approach provided both temporary and portable dust protection, while also establishing a robust barrier between work zones and live office areas.
To safeguard finished flooring from potential damage caused by scaffolding and construction debris, Protecta Dura Foam was selected for its soft foam cushioning and non-abrasive level of impact protection, ensuring the integrity of the floor surface throughout the project’s duration.
Protecta Board XTRA provided robust protection of the finished flooring during the removal of the staircase. For stair treads, Protecta Fleece provided a secure, protective layer against foot traffic between floors.
Final Result
Collaboration with Valmont to deliver “just in time” protection materials as each floor progressed allowed the project to be completed ahead of the deadline and minimised the area required for materials storage during the project.
