BESPOKE SHELTER DESIGN

Working with Guidelines ACT Civil Contractors to deliver the project, the beginning of 2018 saw Stoddart Infrastructure install a total of 92m architecturally inspired shelters and walkways that bring together a wide range of materials and resources from all around Australia.

Roads ACT required a solution that not only provided ample weather protection for patrons, but also met acoustic design guidelines and worked with the wider Canberra Light Rail material/colour palette. The final aesthetic is immediately eye-catching, at almost 4m high and 5m wide, with a striking perforated plywood timber soffit flanked by bronze powdercoated cladding.

Stoddart’s innovative approach to design and fabrication, as well as their expert installation and project management, were vital to integrating a huge range of features onto the bolt-together galvanised steel frame. These include IP rated downlights, DDA seating, CCTV and PA speakers, illuminated lightboxes, and recycled glass-bead acoustic panels behind the plywood soffit to achieve the acoustic values required.
