Flour Mill Estate - Newtown
The mixture of brick and steel sheet cladding looks great together. Behind the colorbond the lower 1.5m of the wall is also brick.
The rear wall, 35m or so in length, entirely masonry.
Thus it requires construction joints. The sealant showing signs of age, probably making it the weakest point for water intrusion.
Overview.
Sarking, safety mesh, C-purlins, suspended ceiling to internal office space.
Got up high standing on the cieling of an internal storage room. Up close the junction of the C-purlin and rafter. Also sarking and safety-mesh.
Corner section of the roof, welded join. Note that end of trench mesh is tied to the outer-most Purlin.
Trusses used along with lateral cross bracing to support roof loads.
The inside of the front wall. 1.5m high brick wall with colorbond cladding rising to the ceiling + gurts.
UB built into masonary work.
A close up section through the cieling, shows colorbond, sheet insulation, sarking, safety mesh.
Years of lateral loads on the stanchion have created this failure in the floor slab.
This is not sheet bracing for the roof truss, the warehouse was formerly divided into two parts by the steel sheeting, but was removed. However there wasnt any need to remove the top section.
