Installing a 30,000m² roof at one of Queensland's busiest airports without disrupting flight operations? That's precision at work. When Tomkins Commercial needed a roofing expert for the Aramex Warehouse at Brisbane Airport, they chose Haggarty Roofing Pty Ltd. The challenge was clear: deliver a top-tier roofing solution with zero impact on airport activities.
Working within strict aviation height restrictions meant careful planning for every crane lift and movement. Each step required precise coordination to ensure flight paths remained unaffected. Our team worked closely with Brisbane Airport management throughout the project.
Queensland's harsh weather demands robust roofing systems that can withstand extreme conditions. The selected materials met all safety and durability standards. Through progressive Inspection Test Plans (ITPs) and close collaboration with builders, every requirement was fulfilled.
This project showcases what's possible when detailed planning meets precise execution. Despite tight regulations, the result was a state-of-the-art roofing solution. This case study explores how careful planning, quality materials and unwavering safety focus made it happen.
Meeting Aviation Standards
The mission was clear: install a 30,000m² roof at Brisbane Airport without impacting flight operations. This task demanded strict adherence to aviation regulations. Before work began, we analysed height restrictions and identified zones where crane usage would be limited.
Our team worked closely with Brisbane Airport management to ensure compliance with aviation safety standards. Clear communication channels were established from day one. Flight schedules were carefully reviewed, allowing us to plan construction activities around peak periods.
Special permits were required for crane operations. These outlined specific operating times and height restrictions. Each crane lift was meticulously planned within these parameters. Regular inspections ensured no part of the operation posed any risk to flight paths. This detailed planning and coordination proved essential to project success.
Detailed Planning: Integration with Airport Operations
For a project of this scale, meticulous planning was essential. The entire roofing process had to integrate seamlessly with airport operations. A precise schedule was developed, accounting for peak flight times and curfews, ensuring minimal disruption to daily airport activities.
Key planning elements included:
- Risk Assessment: Identifying potential aviation, weather and logistics risks
- Crane Lift Plans: Coordinating schedules within strict height restrictions
- Safety Protocols: Implementing comprehensive worker and public safety measures
- Coordinated Timelines: Aligning construction with airport operations to prevent conflicts
Regular meetings with airport officials and Tomkins Commercial addressed issues as they arose, keeping all stakeholders aligned. Strong builder relationships helped streamline workflow and maintain steady progress. This detailed planning approach kept the project within scope and on schedule throughout the installation.
High-Quality Materials: Ensuring Durability and Safety
Durability and safety of the roofing system was paramount. Queensland's weather can be severe, with high winds, heavy rains and intense sun. The materials selected needed to deliver industrial-grade performance in these challenging conditions.
The project demanded materials with proven resilience and longevity. These included corrosion-resistant metal panels and advanced insulation systems. Each component underwent testing to meet both industrial standards and specific airport environment requirements.
Key material considerations included:
- Durability Testing: Materials had to withstand harsh weather and operational wear
- Compliance Checks: All materials met aviation safety and building regulations
- Supplier Collaboration: Partnered with trusted suppliers of certified products
Safety features were integrated throughout, including secure fastenings, reinforced joints and waterproof membranes. This focus on quality materials and safety ensures optimal long-term performance.
Outcome: Successful Professional Installation with No Interruptions
The Aramex Warehouse roofing project was completed with remarkable success. The 30,000m² installation proceeded without a single disruption to flight operations at Brisbane Airport. This achievement stemmed from detailed planning, technical oversight, precise execution and unwavering compliance.
Key success factors included:
- Aviation Compliance: Strict adherence to all aviation and safety regulations
- Coordinated Execution: Continuous communication with airport management
- Efficient Workflow: Strategic crane lift plans and schedules prevented flight disruptions
- Quality Control: Regular inspections ensured high standards at every phase
The project met both timeline and budget requirements. Installing a roof of this scale at an active airport without interruption demonstrates what's possible with proper planning and execution.
