Complete Copper dome – with passion!
July 14, 2010
The all new copper dome to Hills International College in Jimboomba has been craned in, in two pieces and the top spire has been bolted and soldered.
On this project we undertook the whole works, from building the steel structure, cladding of all copper, to craning and fixing.
The dome is created in the most beautiful and craftsman like manners possible.
For the Copper cladding, with continuous Double Seamed joints without any horizontal breaks, the process has been carried out no differently to how Copper domes and spires were carried out on all Central and Scandinavian European heritage buildings throughout the past 700 years.
With all our modern equipment and modern techniques, this way is still only possible the manual way.
It proofs a valid point that you can buy production and technology, but you can not buy experience and expertise.
With leading people in our company who’s training and background is from Denmark, Switzerland and Bavaria in Germany, we are the only company in Queensland and Western Australia with the necessary experience, expertise and PASSION!

It is partly a result of lots of repeat-business, thanks to our “quality & reliability” policy that we constant evaluate, – and It has allowed us to keep investing and keep growing our production capabilities, which has made us very attractive on some very interesting up-coming projects in the near future.
