OBJECTIVE:
Create an end of trip facility complete with showers.
CHALLENGE:
Plumbing needed in the basement of a multistorey office building.
SOLUTION:
Located at the Paris end of Collins Street, the Monash Conference Centre features amazing spaces, leading technology, award-winning food and a state-of-the-art end of trip facility. This facility provides bike storage, lockers and showers for commuters to store their belongings and get ready for work.
Initially, the area was used for storage, providing the project team with a blank canvas. Once it was identified that two showers were needed, the challenge that came up was plumbing. As the area is at basement level on a concrete floor, conventional plumbing was not possible.
“To achieve this area, with all the features required, we selected the Sanifloor. As there is a concrete floor and the space is at basement level, there wasn’t an option to cut the concrete floor. The great thing about Sanifloor is that it draws the water away from the shower using a special suction technology, so there’s no need to worry about gravity drainage, or having a raised shower tray.”
– Greg Waters, Technical and Project Development manager
The Sanifloor enables the installation of a walk-in shower in commercial and domestic applications. The advanced suction technology of the pump allows water to be drawn from the shower collection gully, then pump vertically, performing dual function. This system allows for the installation of a walk-in shower where design constraints do not permit core hole drilling or cutting of concrete slabs to install conventional gravity drainage. A stylish walk is shower is easy with Sanifloor.
“The tenants are happy that they can exercise or ride to their office and have a shower before they begin their day. The end of trip facility is a big selling point for prospective tenants, who always ask if there is an amnesties room similar to this, it has definitely increased tenancy rate..”
– Guido Ortiz, Facilities Manager
