QClad has worked with APGC to complete 2x projects for Damascus Barracks in recent years - the restoration of Buildings B025 and B004. The projects involved the re-roofing & cladding of the Heritage listed Defence Force Facility in Pinkenba Brisbane. Due to the Heritage listing of the buildings, a significant level of care and planning was required for the projects including extensive consultation with stakeholders, head contractor APGC and suppliers to ensure the products installed met both the design intent and also the specific aesthetic needs and Heritage requirements for the structure.
Several nonstandard products were required to match the existing heritage materials of the building including custom folded sheeting produced using ZINCFORM Colorbond steel to match the old profile no longer used by modern roll formers while also meeting the modern requirements for quality and warranty purposes. Building B025 included the replacement of a ridge vent along the length of the main roof while Building B004 also required a little extra with a custom curved ridge (also produced from the custom folded sheeting profile) installed along its length.
QClad was proud to have successfully delivered the Damascus Barracks Project together with APGC & Bluescope Steel to restore the Barracks to its former glory and ensure this Heritage listed piece of Australian history lives on for many years to come.
