V by Crown takes to the sky

Adding to our portfolio of projects in 2015, we’ve been contracted by Crown International to supply KingFlor composite steel formwork at the V by Crown apartment complex in Parramatta, NSW.

Currently in progress, the $309m development will be Parramatta’s tallest building. Standing at 29 storeys and occupying 500 ultramodern apartments, the tower will boast sweeping views of the Sydney skyline and be superbly finished in a luxurious glazed mirrored exterior.

We were contracted in 2014 to provide 70,000m² of KingFlor KF40 material to support the tower with the KF40 profile recognised by the builder and architect to be the perfect solution due to its improved efficiencies thanks to reduced concrete, labour and propping requirements.

KF40 is part of our wide-ranging KingFlor product, offering an innovative composite steel framework solution that combines the performance of a traditional flat pan profile with a trapezoidal deck. Due to KF40’s trapezoidal shape, the product will provide significant savings on preparatory costs across the entire project.

We’ve also been working with Ultrafloor for the tower’s carpark areas, with approximately 20,000m² of KingFlor RF55 formwork being supplied for this part of the development.

Construction on the V by Crown apartment tower has been steadily progressing, with the project scheduled for completion in mid-2016. For more information on the Fielders KingFlor range, visit www.fielders.com.au/kingflor
