Woolworths Logan Reserve – Car Park Structures

Project Overview

Versatile Structures partnered with Hutchinson Builders to design and install car park shade structures at Woolworths Logan Reserve, located at 450-458 Chambers Flat Road, Logan Reserve, QLD. The project involved the creation of three car park shade structures spanning approximately 2,322.5 square metres. These structures were designed to enhance the parking experience for customers by providing sun protection and ensuring durability against the region's environmental conditions.

Challenges and Solutions

The project presented several challenges, including:

  1. Structural Integrity and Compliance
    • Ensuring the car park structures met Australian standards for longevity and structural integrity.
    • The engineering phase required detailed analysis, workshop drawings, and adherence to wind region specifications.
  2. Site Conditions
    • Excavation of 33 piers with varying depths and diameters posed logistical challenges.
    • The team had to account for unexpected site conditions, such as soil variations, while maintaining the project's timeline.
  3. Custom Design Requirements
    • Fabrication included dual-layered reinforced edges and custom REO cages to support the shade structures.
    • High-quality materials like Monotec 370 fabric and marine-grade stainless steel hardware ensured durability and a long lifespan.
  4. Safety and Efficiency
    • All work adhered to strict health and safety protocols, including Dial Before You Dig checks and compliance with relevant Australian standards for construction equipment and procedures.

Key Features

  • Material Selection: Monotec 370 fabric with a 15-year UV warranty, reinforced stitching, and marine-grade fittings.
  • Engineering Excellence: Hot-dip galvanized structural steelwork and reinforced footings for maximum strength.
  • Customisation: Design catered to the unique requirements of the site, including clearances and provisions for future lighting installations.

Outcome

The project was completed efficiently while maintaining Versatile Structures' commitment to quality, safety, and client satisfaction. The new shade structures provide robust and visually appealing coverage, enhancing the functionality of the Woolworths Logan Reserve car park.

This project exemplifies Versatile Structures' expertise in delivering innovative and durable shade solutions for commercial spaces.
