â– Eagle feature takes flight as contract is agreed...
Roof has wings An artist's impression of Bunjil Place and its soaring roof design.
By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A HALLAM company has won a $2 million contract to supply and install the eye-catching roof on Bunjil Place arts and civic centre. Barden-Steeldeck Industries was selected by competitive tender to deliver the complex 10,000 square-metre roof which is regarded as the defining element of the $126 million building. Manager Michael Shacklock was not over-awed by the complex geometry - which includes three levels and two arcing ‘eagle’ wings that meet in a ‘tongue’ on the building’s western corner. “We try to specialise in the out-ofthe-ordinary,� he said. Mr Shacklock said installers would abseil to work on Bunjil’s winged elements.
It’s a low-risk, tested method of working on the bespoke-design roof’s highly-variant gradients and its curvedover front, he said. Aluminium will be used for the roof’s most curved and tapered sections and the rest will be the more standard Colourbond steel. Barden-Steeldeck has been involved in many of Melbourne’s modern landmarks including the undulating Southern Cross railway station roof - a project feted with architectural awards - and Casey RACE. The business has gone from strength to strength since four employees including Mr Shacklock bought it in 2006. It has a workforce of 52. Casey Mayor Sam Aziz was impressed that Barden-Steeldeck was not only local but “the best in the business�.
“The appointment reinforces the fact that doing business locally does not mean compromising on quality. “It results is a significant re-investment back into the community by supporting local jobs. “We are confident that BardenSteeldeck is best placed to manage the architectural challenges of the project with its impressive track record.� Cr Aziz said the council expected design awards from the project which boasts 40 enviro-progressive features. The insulated roof will harvest rainwater into two massive underground tanks. It is acoustically designed to stop noise from Princes Highway intruding into the library, gallery, theatre and studio. It will also offer an overhang and shade to reduce heat entering the building. The number of workers on the fe-
