Mastermesh® Gold

NEPEAN Building & Infrastructure is delighted to be part of the $366 million redevelopment of the Melbourne and Olympic Parks precinct, which each year hosts around 600 events and attracts more than two million people.

Stage 1 of the redevelopment project has been underway since April 2010, involving a major upgrade to fully enclose the Margaret Court Arena with a retractable roof, a new Eastern Plaza with 21 tennis courts as well as a footbridge linking Melbourne Park to the Melbourne Rectangular Stadium.

Named after Australia�s First Olympic Champion, the Edwin Flack Bridge is fitted with 2mm Hexagonal and 5mm custom perforated aluminium panels manufactured by Matermesh®.

On the same project, NEPEAN Building & Infrastructure also supplied 3,600 square metres of custom made galvanised grating for the car park areas of the East Plaza, as well as 380 square metres of FRP flooring to the main viewing platform in the Main Pavilion.

The project was won by our Victorian team based on our project management skills and manufacturing capability. The execution involved considerable project planning in collaboration with both the architects and installation team, with great results.

As a fitting touch for a bridge that will connect Melbourne�s new sporting precinct to the home of the Melbourne Games, the bridge has been fitted with two sets of original rings from the 1956 Olympics, with the Mastermesh� panels form a striking backdrop.

In this video clip the installation of both the rings and our Mastermesh� panels can be seen (video courtesy of MajorVicProjects).

The Edwin Flack bridge is planned for public opening in December in time for the Boxing Day tests whilst stage 1 of the redevelopment is expected to completed in time for the 2015 Australian Open.
