University Of Adelaide – New Engineering Building

CLIENT: University of Adelaide

BUILDER: Hindmarsh Constructions

PURPOSE AND SIZE: University: 10,000 m²

COMPLETION DATE: January 2010

PROJECT DURATION: 12 months

ACCESS FLOOR SYSTEM USED: Steel Cementitious 4.5kN Heavy Grade Load on an Ultrafix Stringerless Air Tight Understructure at an FFH of 350mm.

System Code: SC-64-4.5-UF-AT with Soberfoam acoustic foam.

PROJECT SCOPE/SPECIFICATION: The 8 floor 6 star Adelaide University project required an Air Tight access floor system. Due to the university learning environment, the acoustic properties of the access flooring were a high priority in order to decrease sound transmission through the floor between classrooms.

The project also required an Air Tight System that could be easily integrated with other services.

PROJECT FEATURES AND HIGHLIGHTS: –This project introduced a new concept combining ASP Access Floor’s air-tight system with an acoustic foam baffling system. The product “Soberfoam” was utilized these 25mm foam panels and was fixed with an adhesive to the underside of the access floor panels.

The foam panels were also incorporated with ASP’s proprietary air highway system to provide insulated acoustic baffles between zones.
