Below left to right: Finished project, curved wall detail in progress, finished curved wall Above: Foyer with suspended curved bulkhead with EZYTrack and suspended curved framing for skylights Touted as a centre of the community and a keystone of the towns future development, the Cockburn Aquatic Recreation Centre (ARC) in Perth, Western Australia opened to the public on May 21 st The $109 million multi-purpose centre houses a swimming pool, netball and basketball courts, cafes and the new training facilities for AFL team the Fremantle Dockers. Assigned to bringing this testing interior to life, contractors Exclusive Commercial Linings had their fair share of technical considerations. One of which was how to frame up the suspended Hera Design acoustic paneling from the ceiling of the 25m swimming pool. Due to the corrosive nature of swimming pool environments it was important that Exclusive Commercial Linings used a steel supplier that could back the longevity of the ceiling system. Exclusive Commercial Linings reached out to their dedicated plasterboard and steel framing supplier; Perth Plasterboard Centre for a steel solution that would not only last but provide the technical backing to ensure a precise and flawless installation. Perth Plasterboard Centre approached multiple steel building system manufactures, and after ruling out their usual channels, were pleased to find that not only were Studco willing to warrant their system, they were able to supply product in a fast and efficient manner.

4 TECH TIP Advice on Measuring up for SRC and EZC EZYJamb Single Rebate - SRC A lot of you are familiar with our tried and true EZY Jamb system and have ordered these plenty of times. With the introduction of EZY Jamb SRC, we thought it would be a great time to refresh your minds and take the opportunity to point out the differences between setting up the frame openings for both products. The Original EZY Jamb Classic Adjust (EZC) When ordering EZY Jamb Classic Adjust (EZC) please specify the door width and add on 15mm to allow for an adequate frame opening. If using RY45 Concealed Hinges please make this 40mm, allowing 10mm on latch side and 30mm for the hinge. To identify the height and bottom clearance of your door, measure: (door height + 8mm clearance + specified floor covering thickness). Depending on whether you are installing carpet, tiles, hardwood flooring or going for an industrial polished concrete, this can affect your jamb height, so please take floor thickness into consideration to allow suitable clearance. Studco strongly recommends a double timber stud or a 0.75 BMT metal stud on both sides of the opening. The innovative EZY Jamb Single Rebate (SRC) When ordering EZY Jamb Single Rebate (SRC) please specify the door width and add on 25mm to allow for an adequate frame opening. If using RY45 Concealed Hinges please make this 40mm, allowing 10mm on latch side and 30mm for the hinge. To identify the height and bottom clearance of your door, measure: (Door height + 8mm clearance + specified floor covering thickness+15mm). Depending on whether you are installing carpet, tiles, hardwood flooring or going for an industrial polished concrete, this can affect your jamb height, so please take floor thickness into consideration to allow suitable clearance. Studco strongly recommends a double timber stud or a 0.75 BMT metal stud on both sides of the opening. EZY JAMB DOUBLE STUD DOUBLE STUD EZY JAMB DOUBLE STUD 3-4mm 3-4mm Door and Wall thickness EZY Jamb Classic Adjust comes standard for 38mm doors, although custom thicknesses are available upon request. Wall thickness is measured as (framing width + plasterboard thickness) and is available in standard reveals from mm, although custom thicknesses are available upon request. SIZE 4mm Door Handing Door handing is available in both left and right handing. Handing is based on the side that the hinges are located when opening the door towards you. For example, if the door is swinging to the right, the handing will be on the right. Please refer to measuring and order instructions for further details. LEFT HAND RIGHT HAND Floor to Ceiling Doors Floor to ceiling doors require no header jamb as the door extends to the total height of the wall. When framing for this type of application, allow the ceiling framing and plasterboard to carry on through to the adjacent space. SIZE SIZE 4mm Door and Wall Thickness EZY Jamb SRC comes standard for 38mm doors, although custom thicknesses are available upon request. Wall thickness is measured as (framing width + plasterboard thickness) and instead of having a standard size, the SRC is custom made to fit individual walls. Door handing is based on when you pull the door towards you. 4mm clearance at bottom of door If you have a polished bare floor you dont have to make allowance for specified floor covering 4mm clearnace at top and bottom of door just like EZYJamb Classic Adjust If you have a polished bare floor you dont have to make allowance for specified floor covering 6 STUDCONEWSUPDATE Vol STUDCONEWSUPDATE VOL 22 7

6 INDUSTRY NEWS Changes in Project Value over 12 months The economy continues to track ahead steadily and construction is proving to be an important contributor to Australia s GDP, as infrastructure initiatives and building constructions progress throughout the major cities. Residential & Aged Care construction looks positive in the short term, however the year on year decline indicates this sector has slowed in growth. July July 2017 QLD - 4 % Retail and Hospitality construction is on the rise and construction in the Education sector has also improved with new projects in a range of school and tertiary institutions in Victoria. In the building construction sector, although the demand for inner city apartment living is slowing, student accommodation is rapidly increasing in Melbourne, with 16 dedicated student developments currently in progress, as key institutional players acquire new sites.
