Dominion Constructors was the main contractor contractor for seismic upgrade, alterations and Voronoi screen construction. Packages include structural upgrade and alterations, and exterior plastering and painting.
The works involved in this project was timber framing to seismically restrain un-filled masonry walls and reinforced shotcrete shear walls to improve the seismic bracing ability.
The construction of the Voronoi concrete screen to the street frontage is a concrete structure forming a Voronoi diagram, which is a way of dividing space into a number of regions. The Voronoi screen poses significant challenges, being a mathematical equation dividing a space into regions all connected by a series of ‘points’ or seeds that are pre-defined. This is a difficult three dimensional structure producing an architectural feature.
