Below Fielders manufactured the roof sheeting and wall cladding suitable for cyclonic conditions at the Karratha Airport.
Roofing, cladding and flooring specialists Fielders delivered roof sheeting and wall cladding to the Karratha Airport Redevelopment specially designed to withstand the extremes of the cyclone-prone region. To ensure maximum protection, Fielders supplied the HiKlip®630 from its range of watertight, concealed fixed-roofing products. “Fielders supply a range of profiles to suit these climatic conditions,” explains Fielders Business Development Manager Geoff McInnes. “These are the HiKlip®630, the KingKlip®700 and the Wideklip®760. When clip fixed, the HiKlip® system has no fixings through the sheet so it provides a watertight solution for the end client.” The HiKlip® system is an economical alternative to screw-fixed roofing as it’s designed to provide optimum holding strength without penetrating the sheet. The concealed clip system accommodates thermal expansion and eradicates the need for expansion joints. With large span capabilities, Hi-Klip®630 suits major commercial, industrial and domestic projects and is covered by Fielders’ unique Watertight Installation Guarantee, when installed by a Fielders Approved Contractor. Fielders can guarantee the watertightness of the product using one of their concealed fixed systems (KingKlip®, HiKlip® and WideKlip®) for up to 20 years. WWW.ANCR.COM.AU
Hi-Klip®, like all of Fielders’ concealed fixed-roofing profiles, can be produced using the Fielders Mobile Mill service. The Karratha Airport Redevelopment was, as Geoff explains, “an onsite Mobile Mill job.” Using their Mobile Mill, Fielders roll-form steel roofing and decking to meet a project’s specific requirements. “As part of the Mobile Mill service we run a continuous sheet onsite up to 100m,” Geoff says. “The client can get a continuous sheet and the best water-tight product as a result.” Fielder’s Mobile Mill option can be a cost effective solution compared to transporting long length ready-made sheets. Fielders are currently supplying the Meriton Serviced Apartments development, North Sydney, with 20,000m2 of KingFlor® CF210 SlimFlor decking. A “game-changer” as the first Australian high-rise residential building constructed wholly from structural steel, Fielders’ KingFlor® flooring system contributes a reduction in construction time and costs.
