ADCO – Port Hedland SHS

Delivering Durability and Design to Regional Education Facilities

Corten Steel and Aluminium Solutions for Port Hedland Senior High School

Constructive PD partnered with ADCO to deliver a high-performance facade package for the redevelopment of Port Hedland Senior High School (SHS), a critical facility in Western Australia’s Pilbara region. This project required materials that could withstand harsh environmental conditions while contributing to a modern and striking design.

The scope included the supply and installation of durable Corten steel cladding, an aluminium cassette system, and CFC soffit linings. The use of Corten steel brought a unique weathered aesthetic that blended seamlessly with the rugged Pilbara landscape, while the aluminium and CFC components provided lasting functionality and a clean, modern finish.

Key Highlights: Durable and Innovative Solutions for Regional Schools

Corten Steel Aesthetic

The weathered texture of Corten steel cladding added character to the building, reflecting the natural tones of the Pilbara region.

High-Performance Aluminium System

The aluminium cassette system provided durability and precision, ensuring the facade could endure the region’s demanding environmental conditions.

CFC Soffit Linings

Constructive PD installed CFC soffit linings, offering a clean, low-maintenance solution for the school’s overhead structures.

Tailored for Regional Resilience

Every element of the project was designed and installed to meet the unique challenges of the Pilbara’s climate, ensuring longevity and performance.

Challenges We Faced On The Project

Harsh Environmental Conditions

The extreme heat, high UV exposure, and potential for cyclonic winds required careful material selection and precise installation.

Remote Logistics

Coordinating the transport and delivery of materials to Port Hedland posed logistical challenges that were efficiently managed.

Integration of Diverse Materials

Combining Corten steel, aluminium, and CFC linings into a cohesive design demanded advanced engineering and attention to detail.
