The Perth Zoo Café and Function Centre project embraced sustainability and respect for the environment by utilizing Surefoot's innovative concrete-free footing system. This decision aligned perfectly with the project's commitment to eco-friendly construction practices and preserving the surrounding heritage trees.

Here's how Surefoot footings contributed to the success of this project:

Environmentally Friendly: Replacing traditional concrete foundations with Surefoot significantly reduced the project's environmental footprint. By eliminating the need for concrete production and use, the project minimized CO2 emissions and resource consumption.

Heritage Tree Protection: The minimal excavation involved with Surefoot footings was critical in safeguarding the health of the heritage-listed trees surrounding the construction site. Our team worked closely with qualified arborists and surveyors throughout the installation process to ensure the footings were positioned strategically, avoiding any disruption to the delicate root systems of these valuable trees.

Cost and Time Savings: Compared to traditional concrete foundations, Surefoot offered significant cost and time savings. Our footings were faster to install and did not require curing time, allowing the construction to progress swiftly. This translated to reduced overall project costs and a quicker completion timeframe.

Streamlined Construction: Once the Surefoot system was installed, the riggers were able to immediately begin placing the steel columns, eliminating the waiting period associated with concrete curing. This streamlined the construction process and ensured a smooth transition to the next stage of building the café and function centre.

The Perth Zoo Café and Function Centre project serves as a remarkable example of how innovative solutions like Surefoot footings can contribute to sustainable construction practices while respecting and protecting the environment. This project demonstrates the environmental benefits, cost-effectiveness, and efficiency that Surefoot footings can offer when incorporated into building projects.
