CAMPERDOWN PROJECT
PYRMONT BRIDGE ROAD
Façade / ACP
Facing a fire spread hazard due to combustible ACP cladding, TBES takes swift action. Our comprehensive approach addresses cladding issues while also upgrading weatherproofing and structural elements for enhanced safety and compliance.
THE PROBLEM
The building poses a significant safety concern as it was constructed with combustible aluminum composite panels (ACP) cladding, a material now prohibited in NSW due to its high risk of fire spread throughout the building's façade. The hazardous cladding, present on the awnings, balconies, building façade, and around windows, necessitates urgent attention and remediation.
THE APPROACH
In addressing the combustible aluminum composite panels (ACP) cladding issue, TBES employed a comprehensive approach. Intrusive investigations, conducted with the assistance of contractors, delved into the details of cladding construction, sub-frame conditions, and substructure conditions. This exhaustive examination, complemented by a detailed drone survey, ensured the collection of sufficient information. Subsequently, TBES utilised this data to prepare detailed engineering calculations and designs for the remediation of the façade cladding. In addition to addressing the cladding, the approach also encompassed upgrades for weatherproofing and structural considerations, ensuring a holistic solution for enhanced safety and compliance.
