PIVOTAL BUSINESS ESTATE

Background

From its beginnings as a brick and clay producing town, in the 1870s, Nunawading, Victoria, has a rich industrial history. Just
30 minutes’ east of Melbourne’s CBD, Nunawading remains an attractive location for many industries; however, despite increasing business demand, the area suffered from a lack of suitable commercial spaces.

In order to meet growing demand, an expansive new business park was proposed to replace a disused timber mill in a prime location, at 125-135 Rooks Road. The new ‘Pivotal Business Estate’ – a collaboration between Prospect Property Developments and Armsby Architects – is a versatile blend of 31 warehouse, office and showroom spaces, across five buildings, providing a vital addition for the local business community.

 

Challenge

For Paul Gibilisco, Project Manager at Prospect Property Developments, practicality was a key focus for the project. “The warehouses need to cater to a wide range of users and to meet a practical industrial need first and foremost, so access and maintenance needed to be considered from the outset”.

To maximise space in each of the buildings, all mechanical equipment, utilities and solar panels were located on the roof. While utilising roof-top storage areas enabled the design team to optimise the 8,800 square metres of building space below, the design team also needed to ensure that safe access to important equipment and utilities wasn’t compromised.

 

Solution

Having successfully specified AM-BOSS products on many previous projects, Gibilisco and his team were keen to make use of the AM-BOSS Caged Access Ladders, Suspended Platforms, Walkway and Roof Anchor Points system. Especially designed for roof-top access areas and additional Fall Protection, four caged access ladders were used to provide easy access for on-going maintenance. In addition, extensive use of AM-BOSS Walkways, anchor points and suspended platforms ensured safe movement throughout the roof-top areas.

For Gibilisco, selecting an AM-BOSS solution was one of the easiest project decisions. “Trust is very important in this industry – especially when it comes to safety and mitigating risk”, Gibilisco explains. “We specialise in industrial developments and have used a wide range of AM-BOSS ladders in t he past. The team at AM-BOSS are extremely reliable, great to work with and offer high-quality, Australian-made products that are CodeMark certified for quality assurance. They’re our go-to supplier for safe access solutions”.

I was very impressed with the work Paul did, and the quality of the product. Paul worked with me to find a good placement, did a great job to make sure the work didn’t mess up the house, and explained well how to use the ladder properly.

I’m very happy with the total job that Am-Boss did for me.
