Remedial works
to Redfern Rooftop
Remedial works to this Redfern rooftop were urgently needed to fix water leaking.
But the project had a bigger purpose, to inspire residents to utilise 600m2 of space with one of the best views in Redfern for both work and play.
The main items of work included demolition, hydraulic, electrical work, waterproofing, tiling, landscaping and painting work.
Investigative works to find solutions
Dapcor provided the clients with 3D Rendered models for designs of the new rooftop space. The goal was to create a green enjoyable space for clients in the heart of redfern.
The new design included grass areas, stylish curved planter boxes, timber decking areas, and custom made seating to enjoy the new area
The program work required a lot of coordination with trades and the patience and understanding of the residents.
For example, the new design required more floor waste to support adequate drainage, which required access to the premises of residents.
We studied available drawings and performed investigative works in the units under the slab. We were able to locate existing stormwater pipes and make arrangements to begin work.
Safety is the first priority on site
Dapcor’s commitment to safety is our number one priority on site. With this project, we were also careful about working in an open area.
In addition to standard safety procedures like test and tag tools and PPE, we mitigated dust by enforcing the use of vacuum attachments to all tools as much as practically possible or by using other methods like dampening surfaces before demolition.
The whole area has been re-waterproofed, and the units below are protected from leaks.
The modern rooftop space increases the building’s sophistication. It’s now being used by residents and has great potential to lift the resale or rent price of the properties.
For those residing in the building, the design also mirrors their needs for a multifunctional work and living space. The installation of electrical/USB outlets enables residents to use the space however they choose.
