Recent investigation revealed that the Chermside Medical Complex may contain non-compliant cladding that will require replacement.

Details

Duratec has been engaged to demolish the existing ACP combustible cladding (including removal from site and disposal) and the design, supply and installation of a new non-combustible cladding system to all four elevations of the medical complex.

The scope of works includes:

  • Removal/demolition of combustible cladding.
  • Supply and installation of non-combustible cladding.
  • Removal of all FC soffit cladding.
  • Supply and installation of new aluminium cladding.

Highlights

  • As part of the Duratec existing cladding shop drawing and new cladding shop drawing process, Duratec completed a 3D point cloud survey for all cladding areas as well as a physical site measure. One major advantage of using a point cloud survey in lieu of traditional site measures is
    that workers are not required to physically measure every individual object (i.e. window or panel) enabling accurate as-built documentation. This greatly reduces time with large objects, hard to reach areas or occupied buildings.
  • The building is a fully operational day care centre. Therefore special attention was required relative to controlling noise and maintaining patient privacy during the entire duration of the works.
  • The colour of the replacement vertical aluminium product was carefully matched and selected to ensure the original architectural intent of the building was not compromised.
  • The original dated FC soffit cladding panels had begun to deteriorate and delaminate from the substrate. Duratec replaced the FC soffits with 3mm alum non-combustible alum panels including new upgraded sub framing. This significantly enhanced the appearance of the building.
