SPECIFICATION
Intercultural Garden
Arts Plinth
Background
The City of Ballarat welcomes the use of the Arts Display Plinth at the Intercultural Garden site situated on the corner of Sturt Street and Pleasant Street North, Ballarat.
The intention is for it to be used by numerous Artists over many years and therefore appropriate use of the structure is of the upmost importance to ensure ongoing, sustainable use well into the future.
1 USER CONSIDERATIONS
The Plinth is constructed from 32MPa re-enforced concrete and sealed with a 2-part epoxy, antigraffiti sealer (Haymes Ultimate Anti-Graffiti) to protect it from permanent damage.
The plinth has been constructed from naturally coloured concrete so any holes created to anchor artworks can be easily filled with minimal changes to the overall aesthetics of the plinth.
Filler products must strictly adhere to the engineering details provided below.
The plinth itself can be decorated and therefore used to compliment or form part of the arts installation, but all installations must be approved in writing by the City of Ballarat prior to implementation.
The Artist will be responsible for returning the plinth to its original condition by allowing for the chemical removal of any paint or other applications and the re-application of one coat of the recommended epoxy sealer (Haymes Ultimate Anti-Graffiti) by one of our approved suppliers.
Prices for reapplication can be obtained on request.
Prior to the application of the anti-graffiti sealer, written confirmation from the City of Ballarat stating that the plinth has been returned to a satisfactory state must be obtained.
Any departure from this specification could incur financial penalties.
There is a central conduit which can be accessed to provide lighting for the artwork through the use of solar powered LEDs. All fixtures and fittings are to be provided by the Artist and The City of Ballarat takes no responsibility for the security of these temporary items.
All proposed artwork installations must be approved in writing by the City of Ballarat prior to implementation.
The Artist will need to provide certification from a qualified engineer that any proposed installation is in accordance with this specification.
