The site requirement
A robust wall with a public seating function.
The free-form wall layout was created to support seating outside several takeaway shops in Melton South. Its roadside location called for a robust construction approach suited to that intended function.
Outwest worked directly with council. The package combined retaining wall construction with fabricated steel supports and custom spotted gum seating.
The completed wall
Purpose-made foundations and seating interfaces.
- Wall: 40m long, 800mm high, using 80mm-thick concrete sleepers in varied lengths.
- Posts: 100UC15 steel with welded base plates attached to a purpose-poured foundation.
- Installation: Posts installed and levelled for the free-form layout.
- Seating: Custom frames attached with zinc-plated bolts, finished with spotted gum panels.
