Signal & Hobbs are well versed in delivering iconic buildings with strong architectural integrity.

With these structures it is critical to understand and deliver the original vision of the client and the architect, translating the vision and drawings into a beautiful and function roof and cladding outcomes.

Using our expertise and specialist skills on the unique star shaped architecturally acclaimed, Penguin Parade Visitor Centre is a great example of how the Signal & Hobbs team approaches and successfully delivers these projects.

Wayne Mclean, Signal & Hobbs Director and Project Manager said;

“Our experience with sheetmetal, aluminium, polycarbonate, fibreglass, insulated façade panels and steel means we can offer solutions for many applications,”

The visitor centre installation was extremely time consuming due to the angled design and each of the 800 plus roofing sheets having to be cut top and bottom before fitting, plus daily cleaning of the metal swarf caused from the cutting.

The team also had to deal with challenging site conditions including harsh weather, high winds and cold temperatures.

Taking a practical and measured approach, the site team completed the works in line with the project programme. Signal & Hobbs also installed the safe access system to the roof area, designed and installed in conjunction with Synergy Access. The system allows building maintenance staff to access and safely complete roofing duties.

“We pride ourselves on providing unique roofing solutions for major construction projects. Our philosophy of cooperation with our clients being critical, to the delivery of the project on time and on budget,” said Wayne.
