Stainless steel grating for Queensland’s biggest food court

Great looking, low profile drainage for Robina shopping centre

Project: Robina Town Centre ‘The Kitchens’ redevelopment

Products used:

  • LS1000 with Stainless Steel Heelguard SureGrip Grating
  • Stainless Sump Grates and Frames
  • Single and Multipart Covers with Stainless Steel Decorative Edging

The project:

The Gold Coast’s popular shopping centre Robina Town Centre has undergone a massive $160 million redevelopment, creating a unique foodie experience that is being billed as the first of its kind in Australia.

 

The Kitchens is a multipurpose 14,000sqm space that offers shoppers much more than a food court. The new space incorporates open kitchens and cooking school elements, providing an educational, immersive space for eating, drinking, shopping and learning.

The challenges:
This development is Queensland’s most expensive food court project, comprising over 40 retailers as well as purpose-built kitchens that are open to the public.

Due to the indoor/outdoor nature of the space and the upmarket tenants, the project demanded a polished and contemporary finish that extended to the floor treatments and gratings.

With suspended slabs making up the base of the site, a shallow drainage system was needed to ensure the depth of the drainage channel worked with the existing structure. Longevity was also a key concern so the contractor required a stainless steel system for corrosion resistance over the long term.

The solution:

The contractor chose to install Hydro Construction Products stainless steel drain and grate systems. Using a combination of shallow drains, stainless steel grating, and drainage covers with an attractive stainless steel edge, the result is an effective and professional finish to the outdoor drainage area. 

A shallow drainage solution was required to meet the depth restrictions of suspended slabs. The LS1000/60 drain fit the specifications, with an overall depth of just 60mm. The choice of stainless steel grating ensures that the grating would remain strong, attractive, hygienic and corrosion-free whilst still being an effective channel for water runoff.

To keep the visual continuity of the external floor tiles, both single and multipart drainage covers were supplied with a decorative stainless steel edge. This provided a polished finish with an unobtrusive visual effect.

Perhaps the most important aspect of this project was that the chosen solution needed to be safe and not present a trip hazard for shoppers. For this reason, the contractor chose Heelguard SureGrip Grating to help prevent potential falls and injuries in this high pedestrian traffic area.

Heelguard grating does not contain large apertures that could trap high heels and cause an accident, making it an ideal choice for shopping centres and other public areas.
