HAVER & BOECKER

To achieve the goal of not having a typical car park look, the architect decided to use MULTI-BARRETTE wire mesh at the Southlake Regional Health Center in Newmarket, Ontario, Canada. In order to make the parked cars less visible from the main roads, the dense MULTI-BARRETTE 8124 was chosen for the west and north elevations.

The east facade, which is interrupted by a pedestrian bridge in the center, is covered with the more open MULTI-BARRETTE 8301.

The mesh elements have a maximum of length of 18 meters and are suspended from the top using using triangular brackets. Using wire connectors the elements are secured to round tubes, which are located behind the mesh. The intermediate mounting levels are located on each floor of the car park. With the use of eyebolts each element is precisely pretensioned at the bottom brackets.

Besides the ready-to-install panels Haver & Boecker supplied all brackets and the intermediate round tubes for the substructure and assisted the local contractors during the installation of the mesh elements.

Additional elements are used at the pedestrian bridge. Please review page 2 to get further information on this application.
