Menai Indoor Sports Centre

Our team has successfully completed the roof replacement works at Menai Indoor Sports Centre for Sutherland Shire Council. The project was initiated due to the age of the existing roofing, however, this also presented an opportunity to significantly upgrade the building’s passive fire and bushfire risk provisions. These upgrades included: - A projected beam fire detection system - A mechanical ventilation system designed for high-volume smoke extraction - A BAL - flame zone rated roofing system To accommodate these enhancements, significant structural upgrades were required to the existing portal frame. New stiffening and bracing members were introduced to support the increased loads associated with the upgraded roofing and mechanical plant. Due to the scale of the facility, 23 metre long roof sheets were installed, requiring a 100-tonne crane to safely lift and position each section. The works demanded careful planning and coordination, particularly in managing complex logistics and the handling of long-span materials. The project was a strong collaborative effort, with works staged so that the Centre remained operational throughout the project. Now complete, this important community asset has been secured for decades to come.
