In Alexandria a dynamic new industrial landscape of warehouses and offices is emerging. Prime Projects are completing the repurposing and repositioning of an existing industrial asset for Goodman, namely Southend Lane. Bowsers was engaged by Prime Projects to deliver the application of Vermiculite Fire Spray across 9 hybrid warehouse and office units, each spanning 1,765-2,963sqm.

Bowsers’ specialised team carefully applied Vermiculite Fire Spray to the building’s Y-frame structural beams that were retained, along with the carefully preserved brickwork for its rich, textural character. Vermiculite Fire Spray was the preferred material as it is designed to insulate the steel and prevent it from yielding under extreme heat and providing a 4-hour fire rating (240/-/- FRL).
Given the project’s aesthetic of architecturally inspired ‘woolsheds’, a clean finish was required and no over spray permitted. With a premium 12m high clearance warehouse space, equipment planning, and site preparation was critical. Time was of the essence and Bowsers had a limited window to complete the project allowing the client to continue the next phase of development.
By being methodical in their planning, the team successfully prepared the site and applied the correct coverage of Vermiculite Fire Spray in a timely manner and most importantly ensured compliance with Australian Standards.
Careful planning ensured a seamless process. The spray application was immaculate with no over spray on surrounding surfaces. Bowsers’ level of service saw the team consistently being punctual and diligently tidied up at project completion. The result successfully supports the client’s goal of creating warehouse and office spaces that merge contemporary with an edgy industrial finish.
