The basis of the innovation on the Noble, Bradman & Messenger Stand at the Sydney Cricket Ground was in the roof nosing and soffit cladding. The solution limited site work, maximised pre-assembly of components and provided safe site access.
The proposed perimeter cladding was changed to a pre-manufactured nose cone. These were specifically moulded and designed to incorporate the perimeter gutters, thus eliminating gutter work at height. These were pre-assembled steel modules, assembled on the ground.
The soffit cladding was installed using purpose designed and manufactured working gantries that provided safe and productive working platforms. The key aspects of these working platforms were the weight restrictions required of the gantry, encapsulation of the workers, elimination of falling objects, ease of access and egress and maneuverability of the gantry.
The final solution addressed all the issues and ensured the roof and soffit was installed in a safe manner, utilising a unique and purpose-made solution. Well done to AW Edwards.
