Client: Figurehead Constructions

Location: Cremorne 

Build time: 3 Months

Standstruct was engaged by Figurehead Constructions to install this 4-level CLT and Masslam structure.

In a unique design for timber, each level consisted of a CLT floor plate, with a concrete slab installed on top, very similar to our Northumberland project for Grocon a few years back. This resulted in a visually stunning mix of the exposed blonde soffit of the CLT and a polished concrete floor. 

Standstruct worked flawlessly with the incumbent structural concrete contractor to enable efficient floor completion time frames. Each CLT functioned as a permanent formwork, with each floor plate installed on a traditional concrete formwork. Once secondary steel-reinforced concrete had been installed, the formwork tables were removed and the CLT remained.

Standstruct also took on the install of all acoustic insulation and taping required in the CLT/concrete connection.
