Building & Construction
KingFlor SlimDek 210 at Milperra Industrial Development | Architecture & Design
Every industrial build has a defining constraint, and at Milperra it was the ground itself. The development covers two warehouses, four offices and a run of external suspended pavements on Horsley Road in Sydney's south west, and it sits on a flood path. The slabs had to be raised clear of the ground so water could move underneath rather than bank up against the buildings, and that single planning condition shaped the entire structure. SCP Consulting reconceived the project post-tender around SlimDek 210, a composite flooring system that acts as permanent formwork and stays in place as part of the finished slab, where the decking becomes part of the slab reinforcement.
