In yet another development with our KingFlor decking, we've recently been contracted to supply the material to the luxury Meriton apartment development in North Sydney.
The project has been heralded a
‘game-changer’ for the industry, being the first high-rise residential building
in Australia to be constructed purely from structural steel, eliminating the use
of the traditional concrete frame building method.
We’re working with Meriton and Tony
Caro Architects to provide 20,000m2 of the KingFlor CF210 SlimFlor decking, with this flooring system
an essential part of reducing the timing and costs of construction.
In the
past, traditional steel construction depth can vary from 450mm to 650mm which
has limited the use of steel framed apartment buildings given the increase in
the height of the building and therefore construction costs.
However, with our SlimFlor system, we have the ability to
reduce the construction depth of the flooring down to 290mm to compete favourably
with concrete framed buildings.
It is expected that the use of
this flooring combined with Meriton’s prefabrication of materials, will see the
project completed six months ahead of when it would have been finished using
traditional concrete construction methods.
When the development is completed, it will deliver
unparalleled luxury including 218 stylish short-stay apartments across 30
levels with sweeping views of the Harbour, Opera House and Sydney’s skyline.
Our supply of the product for this development will commence in early June, with the tower is estimated to be open for business in the first half of 2016.
As one of the five profiles
available as part of the innovative KingFlor range, CF210 is capable of
extensive unpropped spans of up to 5.5 metres which results in reduced materials, logistics, labour and waste on
site.
