ARCHITECTURAL BRIEF:
The architects had originally intended for the project to be built using natural timber. However they were rightly concerned that natural timber would fail to withstand the harsh saltwater environment resulting from the ebb and flow of the tidal line. So their brief was to supply them with a sustainable, durable and aesthetically appealing timber alternative that could withstand marine intertidal zones and salt spray.

INNOWOOD’S SOLUTION
Tested and proven as being suitable for marine inter tidal zones and salt spray environments, INNOWOOD’s sustainably sourced and manufactured composite timber product used to construct Wharf 8 & 9 met every requirement of the architectural brief.

THE RESULT:
The architect’s original desire to create the look of natural timber was achieved while the composite timber material used ensured the structure would withstand the test of time, salt water and the weather, including the harsh Australian sun.
This project demonstrated to the industry that INNOWOOD is capable of delivering the ideal solution and timber alternative, even in the most challenging environment.
