At the suggestion of the client alternate materials (other than fired brick) for fabricating the western blade walls are being considered to save on construction time.
The design team visited Austral to learn more about the process by which Terracade panels are fabricated and installed.
The crushed shale material is forced through a mould at high pressure and then baked in gas ovens.

Examples of the panels installed.
Mis-fired and broken panels are crushed and recycled at the fabrication yard.
Not convinced that this ceramic panel system is the best alternate solution for the western blade walls the design team will be exploring a timber solution during the coming week.
