Sustainable Infrastructure Systems (SIS) specialises in the development and manufacture of high quality sustainable products. Our specialty in FRP infrastructure solutions makes SIS the first choice for civil infrastructure constructed from the world’s leading sustainable materials. SIS draws on a wide range of experience providing innovative and cost-effective infrastructure solutions, regardless of the size or complexity of our client’s projects.
The Brisbane City Council in Queensland Australia required a modern cycleway / shared path bridge manufactured with modern materials. In conjunction with BAC Technology of Toowoomba, Queensland, SIS manufactured a composite bridge including StructuralComp FRP substructure, to produce this stunning result.
The Adelaide City Council in South Australia required a replacement boat deck for a decades old timber structure used by Prince Alfred College and Seymour College rowing clubs on the River Torrens in central Adelaide. Given bedrock was as far as 67m under ground level, driven piles were not an option and SIS were required to design a highly engineered cantilevered structure to suit the application. Council also required that high performance materials were used with no maintenance requirements. To fulfil this brief, SIS designers used an innovative mixture of our StructuralComp FRP and WPC products for a structure that would serve council and stakeholder needs for decades to come.
Aquaculture, the farming of aquatic animals, is the fastest growing animal food-producing sector. SISCo-FC Composite Fixings made in the USA are ultra high performance plastics that are now entering vast and untapped markets and applications in regions around the world including ASIA, the Middle East and Australia. For a component replacement for steel that will not corrode in Aquaculture farms and marina / floating dock systems, to ultra light weight components for Sikorsky helicopters & satellites. SISCo-FC Composite Fixings are the answer to problems found when using traditional alternatives.
HENLEY Square’s $8.4 million makeover is nearly complete – The Charles Sturt City Council (SA) expects all works to be completed during November 2015. The upgrade – designed by Taylor, Cullity, Lethlean (TCL) landscape architects (SA) includes SIS StructuralComp FRP products in the crucial sub-frame areas that would usually consist of traditional materials that would crack, rot and splinter on the ocean front environment. SIS StructuralComp FRP products allow all stakeholders to be confident of a 100 year lifespan with zero maintenance requirements. #FRP
Demonstrating the extremely versatile applications for SIS’ StructuralComp FRP products, we have undertaken testing of our Round Hollow StructuralComp FRP range as sign posts for the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service, Department of National Parks, Sports & Racing – Moreton Bay Marine Park. The StructuralComp FRP posts have been in use throughout the harsh environment of the coastal marine park for three years now and have proven extremely durable. We are about to complete another stage in the park signage upgrade program with our StructuralComp FRP products. The posts have also proven very popular with saltwater oyster farms around South Australia’s coast line.
The Cairns Regional Council, located in far north Queensland, Australia has recently installed one of two new shared path pedestrian bridges as part of a cycleway development. Council have recognised the need for high strength, lightweight and extremely durable materials to withstand the harsh climate of Australia’s far north. SIS were contacted to supply our StructuralComp FRP components to work within the steel superstructure.
SIS has recently completed a ceiling refurbishment in partnership with Bermagui Constructions in NSW. The Sutherland Leisure Centre in NSW, Australia has undertaken a general centre renovation that included the ceiling above the main pool. SIS was called upon by the architect to propose an alternative to steel that would not require painting so as to minimise future maintenance requirements. SIS technicians were able to colour match our FRP product to the exact colour specification of a Dulux Shimmer Quarter – a colour similar to light blue.
Project works were completed during June on the City of Melbourne’s Yarra footbridge that connects Flinders Street Station to Southbank at the Southgate & Langham Hotel complex in Victoria, Australia. SIS have custom designed and fabricated an FRP substructure and decking system that has allowed for hidden fixings, best achievable Australian standard slip rating and loading capability along with a water runoff system and very pleasant aesthetics. Contact us if you would to receive a case study on this project or would like further information.
SIS has recently completed a project in conjunction with Engineered Water Systems of Perth, Western Australia. A wave attenuation system was constructed using SIS FRP components due to their high strength and non corrosive nature. This is an extremely effective and durable system designed for the mitigation of wave energy where permanent type breakwaters are not acceptable or cost effective. Waves, and wakes formed from passing boat traffic, can violently rock harboured crafts making it difficult for their owners to enjoy them while in port.
SIS has recently completed a recycled wood plastic composite (WPC) boardwalk for the Bass Coast Shire Council, Phillip Island, Victoria. In Conjunction with GHD Engineers and ADA Construction Services, the completed structure has used nearly 30,000 kg’s of post consumer plastic and timber waste and diverted it from landfill.
