Location

Hilton Convention Centre, South Bank Melbourne

Specifications

To provide a secure decking support system and to reduce the structural weight on large outdoor terrace areas.

Solution

Supplied by Ken Hitchcock Designs and installed by 2 Construct, VersiJack eliminated the use of heavy masonry block work supports thereby substantially reducing the weight bearing load on the building structure. Another major advantage of VersiJack is that during the installation process, the membrane is not penetrated in any way. This reduces the long-term likelihood of hard-to-fix leaks occurring, which are traditionally very costly and difficult to access.

VersiJack is infinitely adjustable from 75-1000mm and incorporates a bearer support that accommodates even warped 40-80mm wide bearers.
