In completing works to Perth’s Central Park Tower, Duratec has successfully delivered a facade panel replacement project of unprecedented scale and complexity.
The transformation of the Central Park facade has been a mammoth achievement for Duratec and now serves as a benchmark for facade refurbishment projects not only within the company but also across the remediation industry. The rejuvenated 52-storey building has changed the look and feel of Perth’s CBD, capturing and reflecting the sunlight by day and lighting up the city skyline by night.
Testament to the incredible amount of work that went into the transformation are statistics regarding the facade panels and other aspects of the project. These figures illustrate the magnitude of Duratec’s flagship facade project.
