1 safintra factory & warehouse category Winner: 265 Sydney Road Safintra World Class Roofing Systems Tel: +27 (0) Website: SAFINTRA world class roofing systems Safintra is the choice provider of metal roofing and cladding for the most innovative design demands and challenging structural requirements, offering a wide variety of profiles to suit the full spectrum of our clients needs. Safintra s high quality products also saves on the overall cost of building, as, because metal roofing is lighter, it does not require the structural support that traditional roofing systems require. The metal roofing market has seen a spike of growth and product innovation in recent years, driven in large part by design developments within the construction and architecture industry, often based on considerations of sustainability. Safintra have always prided themselves on doing things differently and continue to drive innovations which raise the bar. With the focus on sustainability and green building technologies metal roofing also proves to be the perfect companion for solar and rainwater harvesting technologies. Safintra s offering in the timeless corrugated profile is sold under the Classicorr brand name, with the range of trapezoidal profiles sold under the brand names Tufdek, Widedek featuring an effective cover width of 760mm, Trimflute and Fluteline, which has a deeper pan and excellent drainage charteristics. Versatile is a unique tiled metal sheet profile which has the aesthetic of tile, but offers all the advantages of steel. Versatile is sold as a complete system, with its own distinctive roll top ridges, which are designed to complement the profile. In large-span industrial or warehouse metal roofing applications, concealed fix roof systems are the only choice. Fit for purpose, Safintra offer the Saflok concealed fix systems available in 700mm and 410mm effective cover widths, held down with securing clips pre-fixed onto purlins and the sheets are mecahanically snapped onto the clip.

2 Winner 265 sydney road This project entailed the redevelopment of the old Dunlop Factory at 265 Sydney Road. Perfectly positioned close to port operations, the aim was to provide large warehouses with suitable yard space on the historic site. The emphasis was on redeveloping an old and antiquated site into a modern, user-friendly facility with ideal yard spaces lending themselves to high, large span warehouses suitable for a wide range of tenants. Some of the challenges included tying into old structures. Trying to get the roof sheets rolled onsite and then lifting and installing them 160 meters across the roof presented a challenge, especially in the wind.

Special considerations included erection of the frames, and consideration of truss behaviour in sections during the rigging process. The original design had over 70 columns and an eaves height of 4.5 meters. Cousins Steel provided an elegant solution transforming the facility in a way that maximised space for its tenants, using 18 columns and achieving a clear 12 meter eaves height. The result is a modern facility for very little extra in terms of cost. Finishing the project well, and overcoming steel supply challenges to do so, provided a tremendous sense of satisfaction to the project team.
