Chadstone Shopping Centre
Melbourne, Australia
This extension to the Chadstone Shopping Centre has become a conversation piece with its architectural and visual impact not seen in Australia before.
PERI Rosett Flex was on site and in use from June to late October, with the Centre opening some 3 days after the last of the Rosett system being dismantled.

The Project
Impressions from the project process
Up to 70,000 visitors flock daily to Australia's largest shopping centre which is now completely covered by a gigantic glass roof – the result of an expansion project. Work was carried out while the centre remained opened for daily business; the schedule for the entire construction project was extremely short. (Photo: David McArthur Parallax Photography)
PERI Australia supported the scaffolding contractor with a comprehensive planning solution for the up to 20 m high load-bearing shoring and working scaffold up to 85 m long. Thanks to the lightweight system components, the scaffolding could be erected and dismantled without a crane – so that the restricted crane availability did not jeopardize the scheduled completion date.

The PERI UP Flex Modular Scaffolding was adapted to suit the complex-shaped glass roof structure: all working areas could be easily and safely reached while every load transfer was optimally planned. (Photo: David McArthur Parallax Photography)
All working levels could be completely covered with PERI UP Flex while the flat and even work areas were free of any tripping hazards. (Photo: David McArthur Parallax Photography)
The undulating glass roof provides Australia's largest shopping centre with a very distinctive design feature. The unique configuration has already attracted a lot of attention. (Photo: David McArthur Parallax Photography)

Being in the industry for many years, I found the Rosett system to be the most adaptable and versatile system that I've used, with multiple sizes of a deck, ledgers and accessories. Working at such heights with limited crane access for moving material was enhanced by the lighter weight components and better connection of deck to ledger and accessories to the system adding versatility.
