Brief:Painting & Electrical works on loading dock
Info:As with any painting job, the aim is to provide a protecting surface that is suitable for the environment and the ways in which this environment is used. Painting is not only about a better effect, but rather a minor maintenance procedure applied regularly to avoid a larger maintenance problem. Concrete walls are especially vulnerable to weathering and atmospherics conditions. What about a heavily used loading dock area, rampant with dust and heavy vehicles vibrating day-in day-out. Centro Woodcroft is located west of Blacktown city and it serves an area with a population of over 38,000 residents. It is an undeniably busy centre. Our painting & electrical teams initiated the project with multiple shifts, alternating at various times of the day in areas where work is safely plausible. Few days into the project and the long stretching walls along the loading dock started to look more as they should.

Brief:New shelving solutions and the construction of a new lunchroom
Info:Storage space is always in demand, and more storage space is always better than less. Space is a motivating force for any business, however large or small. Space for employees, for technicians, for plant, for product storage and for documentation.
Using space efficiently makes your operations more efficient. Many companies relocate needlessly when the space they need is around them all the time.
On this project, we aimed to unlock those hidden spaces using our experience and knowledge to create solutions that opened up existing storage and floor space. It’s like adding an extra dimension to the workshop, the area of the warehouse where the technicians conduct their repairs. Also the mezzanine area benefited from a new shelving configuration.
Another part of the project was the demolition of an existing room space making way for the new lunchroom. Walls were erected, doors built and facilities established providing for water and drainage and electrical. Overhaul painting was undertaken on all new surfaces hence providing a brighter and cleaner environment.

Brief:Exterior duct insulation with stainless steel for protection from weathering
Info:The aim was to remove the existing ducts and replace with new ducts with stainless steel shroud extending to full height all the way to the roof. Watertight seals were incorporated around the pipe at the interface between the pipes and the building. For this type of works, Industrial Rope Access was identified as the most flexible and cost effective, as opposed to the traditional cherry picker or obtrusive scaffolding. The exhaust duct originated from the restaurant’s hood and spanned all the way to the roof.
