Practical Completion has been reached on the Metrowest Warehouse at Seventeen Mile Rocks, now the new warehouse/office for Nelson Irrigation Corporation of Australia Pty Ltd. The warehouse once fully functional will be three times the size of their existing location, enabling them to hold and dispatch more stock throughout Australia and the world.
Connected to the warehouse are 2 levels of highly finished office space that displays work areas on level 1 & 2, two kitchen areas, a state of the art conference room with veneer wall panelling & sliding doors and a balcony that leads out from the conference room with floor to ceiling glass sliding doors creating a large entertaining space.
The feature to the office and the most complex to construct was the 3 flight staircase to the entrance foyer. The design of the stair and the size and finish level created obstacles for access to the remainder of the building as the complete foyer area was under construction for some 2 months right up to practical completion. With Blackbutt treads & risers connected to a laser cut zigzag steel stringer it also features a frameless glass balustrade with a stainless steel standoff handrail and stainless steel tactile indicators to each landing, it is truly an eye opening entrance.
External works include a main entrance car park area, bin & pump enclosures, perimeter landscaping works and sandstone boulder retaining walls. The warehouse and office also feature external lights attached to the building, acting as a product display.
The Certificate of Classification and Practical Completion was achieved on the 19th September 2012 with Nelson Irrigation anticipating to be up and trading in the new premises by the end of September.
Congratulations to Demo, Ken, Matt, Henk, Lauren, Jason, Kaha.
