Gold Coast Studios

The largest sound stage in the southern hemisphere has now taken residence in the Gold Coast. The aptly named “super stage” will be the latest addition to the studio lot with a foot print of approximately 4,500m².

Durra Lifting Frame was used to install 4,500m² of acoustic Durra Panel and Durra Steel Sections in 7 days.

To compress the build time on Gold Coast Movie Studios, our new generation Lifting Frame was used to install 4,500m² of acoustic Durra Panel and Durra Steel Sections in 7 days, including the metal deck roof sheeting.

A team of twelve tradespeople were used on-site to assemble and install the Durra Panel, Durra Steel Sections and metal deck roofing. Over a period of 7 days, 40 panelised modules of Durra Panel and Durra Steel Sections were assembled on ground and crane hoisted onto the structure including installation of the metal deck roofing. The roof height was approximately 25+m above ground level.

Each panelised lift was 114m² in area, nominal 4,000 kg per lift. It took 7 days to complete the works. There were generally between 6-8 lifts of 114m² per day. Penetrations for the smoke vents were formed into the lift module on ground prior to crane hoisting. Overall, the project’s roof ceiling and walls consisted of 6,500m² of Durra Panel and Durra Steel Sections.
