About Project
The Cobblebank Stadium in Melton Precinct, VIC, Australia, underwent a remarkable transformation with the installation of state-of-the-art skylights and facades utilizing Gallina Bi-Colour UV Tech ArcoPlus 9207 and ArcoWall 5613. This project aimed to enhance natural light penetration while ensuring durability and aesthetic appeal, making it a stunning architectural feature.
Project Challenge
The installation of skylights and facades at Cobblebank Stadium presented several significant challenges. One of the primary hurdles was the need for complex design integration, requiring meticulous planning and collaboration with architects to ensure that the new elements seamlessly blended with the existing architectural structure. Compounding this challenge were unpredictable weather conditions, which occasionally delayed progress and necessitated flexible scheduling and quick decision-making to keep the project on track.
Additionally, sourcing high-quality Gallina Bi-Colour UV Tech materials within a tight timeline proved to be complicated, necessitating efficient logistics and strong coordination with suppliers. Safety compliance was another critical concern, as working at height demanded strict adherence to safety regulations and protocols to protect both the installation team and the public. Finally, meeting specific energy efficiency standards for the skylights and facade required careful selection of materials backed by thorough testing. Despite these challenges, the project team employed effective strategies to navigate obstacles and achieve the desired outcomes.
- Complex Design Requirements: Ensuring the skylights and facade integrated seamlessly with the existing structure.
- Weather Conditions: Battling unpredictable weather during installation that could delay progress.
- Material Sourcing: Acquiring high-quality polycarbonate materials on a tight schedule.
What We Did
To address the challenges faced during the installation of skylights and facades at Cobblebank Stadium, our team implemented a comprehensive and strategic approach. We began by collaborating closely with architects and engineers to develop a cohesive design plan that ensured the new skylights and facade materials integrated seamlessly with the existing structure.
Our selection of Gallina Bi-Colour UV Tech ArcoPlus 9207 for the skylights was pivotal in maximizing natural light while minimizing UV penetration, enhancing the overall aesthetic and functionality of the space. Simultaneously, we installed Gallina Bi-Colour UV Tech ArcoWall 5613 on the facade, a choice that not only provided exceptional durability but also complemented the stadium’s architectural style.
Throughout the installation process, we maintained a strong focus on safety. Our team adhered to strict safety protocols while working at height, prioritizing the well-being of both the installation crew and public visitors. We also ensured ongoing support and made necessary adjustments in real-time to meet energy efficiency requirements, guaranteeing that the project objectives were achieved effectively. This thorough approach led to a successful installation that transformed Cobblebank Stadium into a brighter and more inviting venue.
The Result
The final outcome of this project was a stunning installation of skylights and facades that significantly enhances the Cobblebank Stadium’s natural lighting and visual appeal. The use of Gallina Bi-Colour UV Tech products not only met but exceeded performance expectations, creating an inviting atmosphere while contributing to the stadium’s aesthetic identity. This project stands as a testament to innovative design in facade and skylight polycarbonate solutions, delivering long-lasting value to the Melton Precinct.
