Durra acoustic roof system is the largest green roof in the southern hemisphere.

A challenging construction timeline required safe panelised pre-assembly solutions for the acoustic roof. Large 100m² modules of Durra Panel and Durra Steel Sections were constructed on a ground based assembly line and then crane hoisted onto the structure using the Durra Lifting Frame; over 400 lifts of pre finished roof / ceiling assemblies were required.

Durra Panel is supplied with a factory finished Acoustic Pattern to help control room reverberation times.
