The City of Sydney is working with leading private developers to create a new and sustainable £13 billion, 14-hectare urban renewal project, Green Square, with world-class community facilities and extensive infrastructure. ATDC provided extendable safety barriers to the new library.
It is projected that by 2030 Green Square will house 61,000 people and 22,000 new workers, only 3.5 km from the CBD in Sydney’s Inner South and 4 km from the International Airport at Mascot.
Green Square Library Benefits from ATDC Security
A small part of this investment includes construction of a new community library, and The Australian Trellis Door Company (ATDC) has recently installed one of its unique extendable safety barriers at the library entry.
Specified by Sydney architect, Stewart Hollenstein, ATDC worked closely with project managers John Holland in delivering a custom-made lock-up door solution to this prestigious project. ATDC’s S04-1 DD Double Diamond mesh extendable safety barrier was the door of choice for the project architect since it provided a freestanding yet economic security solution and was able to be installed in the absence of any available support structure.
Compliant with Rigorous Standards Worldwide
In addition, ATDC’s unique barriers not only comply with the Australian Standards for Temporary Fencing and Hoardings but are also compliant with the emergency egress requirements of the BCA, allowing keyless egress in the event of an emergency. Being installed at the entry to the public library, it was essential that this emergency egress facility was incorporated into the design of the barrier system. ATDC installed a similar system for the State Transit Authority at Barangaroo at the entry to the new ferry terminal.
Library Project Specifications
The barrier system was installed at the foot of the stairs to the library entry and was formatted in a U-shaped configuration to completely surround the balustrading on the stairs. (See photograph of the installation above).
Supplied at a standard height of 2020 mm, the mobile and portable extendable safety barrier was installed on a series of heavy-duty non-marking thermoplastic castors and was finished in a satin black powder coat. Intermediate shoot bolts, which engage with the finished floor, were used to stabilise the barrier system.
