Additionally, several seating areas constructed from timber were also scheduled for replacement with aluminium benches constructed from AliDeck joists, brackets and decking boards. Returning to base with the survey data, AliDeck
were able to prepare a comprehensive plan for the supply of materials, with quantities of all components accurately calculated. “A combination of our 30mm Senior Decking
ds of ds and with he terrace
ts had ds
und the to utilise use these.
Board and 50mm Low Joist were specified to ensure the most effective solution, both in terms of practical utility and cost,” explained Richard. “Our Adjustable Pedestal Brackets and Spreader Plates provided the correct build-up height for the terrace and ensured the load did not interfere with the roof ’s waterproof membrane.” Recognising that the terrace area could be
considered as two rectangular areas of 5.5m and 6m width, AliDeck proposed that decking boards be supplied in 6m stock lengths to neatly lay the boards to avoid the “patchwork” visual effect of the existing timber deck. Off-cuts could then be repurposed for use in the planters
and seats to minimise waste aluminium. Specification of 6m board lengths presented logistical challenges, though, specifically in how to transfer the material from delivery lorry to the 8th storey roof terrace. Unable to be carried up the internal stairs or to fit inside the elevator, it was agreed that to minimise resident disruption, a contract liſt and crane solution would be used. Arranging this involved liaison with local
authorities for road closure and traffic management, so it became imperative that the project was operationally managed flawlessly, and that delivery was achieved on the scheduled day. Te one variable that couldn’t be accounted
for was the weather. With a wind speed limit in place for liſting to this height, AliDeck arranged emergency back-up to divert the delivery and store the materials in the event that the liſt was unable to go ahead. Fortunately, the weather was favourable on the day and the liſt was successful. Te installation of the aluminium terrace deck
was completed by AliDeck’s Approved Installer, Wrightweld Fabrications. Te team at Wrightweld
have been working with AliDeck for decking installations for a long time and are experts with their full range of decking systems. It was no surprise, then, that the removal and replacement of the terrace went exceedingly well, satisfying all of the goals of the project. “All parties are delighted with the product,
installation, and support from AliDeck throughout this project.” said Jon Fellows, Contract Manager at AD Construction Group. It’s an excellent outcome for all stakeholders.
Te close collaboration between Te Hyde Group, AD Construction Group, Wrightweld Fabrications, and AliDeck was key to the project’s success. Tis unified approach to working together for the right end result has helped to revitalise the living space of another major building for its residents. Find out more about AliDeck and the solutions
