Purpose: to install a unique entry statement for the East Fremantle Town Centre.
Considerations: the final piece should;
- be fabricated from durable materials, but be sufficiently frangible so as to not withstand a significant vehicle impact;
- have no entrapment areas or sharp edges;
- be accompanied by relevant engineering certification provided by a suitably qualified engineer and meet relevant Australian Standards;
- have a minimum lifespan of twenty years and incorporate an anti-graffiti coating to its finish, noting that it should avoid being ‘glary’ in sunny conditions;
- be sufficiently robust to withstand general wind loading, noting that due to its proximity to residences there should be no noise (including wind) associated with the piece;
- have a narrow base which is able to be mounted with bolts (of the type that shear on impact) to a concrete foundation; and
- be of a slim design that does not extend past inner kerbing to ensure critical sight lines are not compromised and that the installation is unlikely to be damaged by passing traffic.
Site: the installation will be located centrally in the roundabout situated at the intersection of Silas Street and St Peters Road, East Fremantle.
