Yeronga State High School Hard Court Cover

XXL CONSTRUCTIONS was thrilled to help modernise the facilities at this 60+ year old beloved Brisbane High School, by building them a robust multi-court cover that offers protection to current and future generations and will enable outdoor activities no matter the weather.

XXL CONSTRUCTIONS are seasoned at enabling and allowing schools and sports clubs to offer modern, robust, durable coverings for their outdoor sports courts, to ensure protected outside activity all year round.  XXL delivers smart, effective, and affordable outcomes by offering it’s single point-of-contact, concept to completion, build management solution.

The single point-of-contact, concept to completion, build management solution provided by XXL CONSTRUCTIONS involved the production of design concept drawings, steel detailing drawings, structural drawings, engineering compliance and approval, construction drawings, materials and trade procurement, build management of the site excavation, site preparation, the foundation works, the slab laying, the court surfacing, the structural steel frame, roofing and cladding install, the lighting install, the insulation install, the birdproofing install, storm water management install, the landscaping, and the occupancy certification.

Taking full advantage of the enormous cost saving benefits of the patented SMRT® hybrid connection design solution made this building significantly more affordable.  The SMRT® hybrid connection design solution allowed strong and rigid steel hot-rolled columns to transition efficiently and effectively to the cold form steel rafters of this massive portal frame. Utilising the SMRT® hybrid connection design solution assured the engineering brief was met for the span required and importantly enabled the materials cost savings needed to maintain the project’s budget.

The huge open span of this design provides a massive multi-purpose space for all weather sports, gatherings, events and assemblies. The Colorbond clad finish makes this structure an attractive addition to the school campus and a highly valued value-add facility to the school’s student services offering. XXL CONSTRUCTIONS’ professionally managed build process and top-quality project delivery is highly regarded by both the School’s faculty and the Department of Education.
