AAPAC DESIGNBUILD
designed and built this single level control
office and staff facilities building for State Railway
Authority. The project involved demolition of an old timber
building which was attacked by termites and was with asbestos cement
roof. Because of the termite problem, the new building was
required to be built with steel structure
completely. AAPAC DESIGNBUILD
used a light gauge steel framing system from
BHP. The whole building structure was prefabricated off
site. The erection of the structure adjacent to rail tracks
was speedy. The construction of the building was of concrete
slab on ground, brick veneer walls and corrugated colorbond steel roof
cladding. Windows were double glazed with special performance
tinted glass.
