Raised Platform for Washroom
In 2024 a customer approached Advanced Manufacturing Australia seeking a solution which would improve the working height of a work centre within their washroom.
The customer’s brief included:
- Specific dimensions considering the required working height for the users,
- Sufficient strength to support the weight of workers along with the materials they handle,
- Lightweight if possible so that it may be repositioned by staff if required,
- Contrasting in colour to the background floor ensuring that the platform is as visible as possible in both high and low artificial light,
- Providing a non-slip surface to walk on,
- Ability for the platform to be hosed down without water being trapped underneath, and
- Corrosion resistant.
We developed a concept considering the customer’s brief and then made the platform utilising high-vis yellow fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) grating, custom designed nylon/carbon fibre composite posts with embedded stainless steel nuts, and threaded adjustable height levelling feet.
