⁰¹ Discover

ASPECT Studios + Hill Thalis knew that its designs would present a considerable manufacturing and installation challenge to most construction firms. So they chose to work with us because they had confidence our inhouse team would be able to deliver a coordinate, end-to-end service.

⁰² Develop

• Our approach is unique because it places the needs of landscape architects, developers, contractors and local councils at the hub of everything we do. Through our design-led engineering process, we give our partners the breadth of vision to transform their ideas into iconic structures.
• Working closely with the project consultants from start to finish, we were responsible for bringing the architects’ inspired vision to life. Elements included the cliff access stairs, to the stylish implementation of the boardwalks, decking and shelters, right through to the fine detail of the custom seating.

⁰³ Detail

• The cliff stairs were an entirely different geometrical challenge. After taking precise cliff face surveys, we were able to detail the stairs for manufacture.
• We completed all works on time, on budget and to the highest level of fine detailing. Exactly what the project required.

⁰⁴ Deliver

• It was in the delivery phase that our Onsite Crew and Structural Specialists really delivered value. For the jetty and part of the boardwalk, we manufactured a steel sub-frame treated with marine-grade paint and then used Australian Class 1 hardwoods for the decking. The remainder of the boardwalk used the same hardwood, but was installed on the site’s existing retaining walls. We also fabricated an aluminium boardwalk for the floating pontoon, transported it to the site and installed it by crane. Plus, we manufactured structural steel support frames for the precast concrete walkways and coordinated all aspects of the concrete installation.
• We detailed the stairs for manufacture, fabricated and craned-in a steel frame and stainless steel mesh landings, then fabricated, painted and craned-in steel stair frames, installed stainless steel mesh stair treads and painted steel balustrade. The final stage was the installation of the stainless steel handrail. For the three picnic shelters, we fabricated the steel posts and roof frame off-site, then assembled by crane and applied protective paint on-site. Finally we installed and dressed the timber purlins.
