Arcpanel (125mm Smartek) straight roof panels
ARCPANEL collaborated with Queensland Stadiums to provide innovative roofing solutions for the new Centre of Excellence at the Queensland Sport and Athletics Centre (QSAC). With a roof cover of over 40 metres, the ARCPANEL’s Smartek 125mm insulated roof panel was the ideal choice, providing a span of up to 6 metres between supports. Its sleek square-corrugated design, combined with custom flashings, provided a modern and refined finish, enhancing the facility’s aesthetic. This project required a roofing system that met strict performance standards while offering long-lasting durability and minimal structural requirements, making ARCPANEL’s Smartek Panel the perfect solution.
Hutchinson Builders’ Head Contractor, James Dickson, emphasized the significant cost benefits achieved by using ARCPANEL’s system. The large spans reduced the need for extensive structural support, minimizing material costs. The all-in-one Smartek roofing system also saved time on installation, with its pre-insulated panels contributing to the building’s energy efficiency—critical for this high-performance sporting facility. The technical support provided by ARCPANEL, from shop drawings to on-time deliveries, ensured smooth installation and helped keep the project on schedule.
The benefits of using ARCPANEL’s Smartek extended beyond cost and efficiency. Its ability to conceal services within the panel and incorporate custom flashings contributed to a clean, streamlined finish. The system’s long spans, prefinished components, and bespoke detailing made it a versatile and time-saving solution for large-scale builds. Architects and builders appreciate ARCPANEL Smartek Panels ability to provide:
- Spans of up to 6 metres between supports
- Integrated insulation for thermal efficiency
- Modern square-corrugated design with custom flashings
- All-in-one roofing, ceiling, soffit, and insulation system
- Reduced procurement and installation time due to prefabrication
For projects that demand both performance and visual appeal, ARCPANEL’s Smartek panels deliver a cost-effective and sophisticated solution.
