BRIEF Bundoora Primary School wanted to provide shade to both their canteen window and the deck area as it was a very hot and bright space.
Challenges were encountered along the way as there were several underground services throughout the area that had to be taken into consideration during the design phase.
OUTCOME Greenline installed two 8m x 8m centre star post structures. The School opted for a contemporary style of dark, almost charcoal colour, for the steelworks and a rusty red colour for the cover. Installation involved removing part of the decking and using hydro-vacuum excavation to dig footings without damaging underground services through the area. Also involved fitting the deck planks around the columns to ensure a neat finish so it looked like it was part of the original installation.
