2021 Master Builders-Bankwest Excellence in Construction Awards

Congratulations to Multiplex - winning the Construction Awards in WA. In the recently announced 2021 Master Builders-Bankwest Excellence in Construction Awards, Multiplex bags overall winner for NextDC P2 in Perth.  The judges acknowledged that the $200 million data centre constructed by Multiplex was - in the words of Master Builders WA chief judge Robert Shaw  - "a fantastic example of workmanship, with significant attention to detail."

In 2020, construction leader, Multiplex, teamed with Signs & Lines for building and internal signage throughout the facility. We were proud to be involved with the new, state-of-the-art Data Centre which is strategically positioned in East Perth and the Graham Farmer Freeway thoroughfare.

Our Scope of Works

Signs & Lines manufactured and installed the signage prior to the facility opening in mid-2020. In addition to prominent external signage, we were commissioned to delivery on-brand wayfinding signage for the internal spaces too.

Pictures of completed are project are shown below with full details in our Case Study.

With 9 data centres around Australia, NextDC P2 can proudly stand out as a professional facility, with an on-brand, high design and construct result.

20 Years Young - a heartfelt perspective
By Josie Simmonds, Business Manager @ Signs & Lines

Ok, we don't like being show ponies but this is one anniversary that we're pretty proud of... 20 years of ownership of Signs & Lines. In terms of a signage celebration we thought we'd recap our 20 years.

On 1st July 2001 we purchased Signs & Lines as a small going concern from a husband and wife couple, Chris and Jeni Maine. It was small. Very small. A typical family operation with 2 staff members.

Along come the blow-ins - Mark and Josie Simmonds... Fresh off the boat and with limited sign experience. Not a typical recipe for success!! However, looking back it was a logical step to make for the Pommies. With Mark's cabinet making and kitchen design experience and Josie's marketing and business development background it made sense. And it still makes sense!

​With independent roles and different perspectives there is always room for debate and collaboration. Decision making has never been tough - despite there being some very tough decisions to make. Put simply, Mark and I work well together. He is more into big picture, opening doors, working with clients whereas I am the detail person ie the person that makes it happen (well most of the time!).  So a good match of goal setter and goal getter.

​To find out just why Signs & Lines leads the signage pack here in WA, put our professionalism in the spotlight.  Hire us for your next project and put us to the test:)

​And, to everyone who has helped us along the way,
Thank You! ​

In 2019 PS Structures commissioned the team to produce signage for Curtin University’s new Midland Campus. The Midland Campus forms a key component of the Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority’s Midland master plan, which aims to reposition the historic Workshops precinct as a medical and education hub.

Signage types included in the project covered a broad scope. Internally we provided the following:

WAYFINDING

• Wayfinding directories – timber veneer panel as backplate measuring 2.2m with aluminium sign panel overlay, edges flush to back plate. Suspended and wall mounted wayfinding signs with arrows.
• Wayfinding lift directories – aluminium sign panels
• Number Level – Timber veneer router cut to reveal concrete backing.

INTERNAL SIGNS

• Reception logo panels saying ‘Curtin University’ in the main lobby.
• Room ID’s – to either glazing or doors featuring room number, room name and Nyungar translation.
• Feature Graphics – six digital prints as illustrative feature images to textured wallpaper for artistic impact.
• General graphics – graphic strips on glazing and privacy bands on offices.
• Secondary room ID’s – for statutory signage such as Fire Safety Doors, No Unauthorised Access, Office, Meeting Rooms.

Demonstrated Digital Car Park Counting
Our team is well experienced with a capacity to delivery nationwide digital car parking projects.

The service goes beyond design and installation, with a servicing and maintenance crew available across Australia for remote and site works. We provide not just the digital screen technology but also design, manufacture and install the steel structures the signs are attached to including engineering and all associated local body and Main Roads permit requirements.

Read more in our detailed Case Study here.

​Turnkey Solution
We provide traffic & parking systems for companies both large and small.

For the Concert Hall car park the new entry digital signs clearly display the bays available at the entry.

​These single sided P10 LED outdoor screens replaced outdated technology. As part of our thorough robust solution, we supplied a thermostatically controlled IT Cabinet to ensure full operational effectiveness of the control equipment at all times so the control equipment is not affected by the weather elements of heat, dust, water.

LED car park signage in the future can also utilise the technology for safety messaging eg. ‘Don’t drink & drive’, product advertising, promotions, weather updates, traffic reports or security messages ‘Is your car locked?’ At Airports where bus shuttle systems required to take travellers to their terminal digital car park signs could show shuttle timetables, for example.
 
Updated parking rate cards and prices can be displayed on entry and locations of pay machines are other ways in which the digital technology can be employed to provide a better parking experience – good communication is key as we know from the ‘must haves’ outlined at the start!

Signs & Lines are proud to be associated with one of the country’s most anticipated hotel openings, The Ritz-Carlton in Perth.

There’s no doubt that the quality of the signage fit out of the Ritz Carton hotel has upped the ante of Perth’s hospitality sector. Our Case Study outlines the full extent of this landmark project in the CBD.

Based on design work from Turner Design, Signs & Lines were contracted by Probuild to supply and install the internal and lower level external signage for both towers. There were literally thousands of signs including external plinths, brass hotel room door signs, reception signs, pylons, lift lobby signage, restaurant 3D printed signs, tactiles and many wayfinding elements.

Digital Signage for Hospitality Venues
 
Use of interactive digital signage is also great way to engage guests and other users of a hospitality venue – modern technology will let them find information through self-exploration on touchscreens, video walls, digital kiosks or digital wayfinding displays.

May was a busy month in our workshops as we finished off some new wayfinding signage for the Champion Lakes Regatta Centre for VenuesWest. Our brief included x6 3-sided triangular totems and x7 two-sided totems displaying information on swimming and access information in the lake environment. In addition we created post and pole signage for Swim Limits and Craft Flow plans. Here are the signs being QC'd (quality checked!) before they left for site. More site photos to come post install.

Champion Lakes Regatta Centre is purpose built for community, state, national and international sport competitions including rowing, canoeing, dragon boating and triathlon events.
It is also a training ground for Australia's Olympic kayaking team and the venue hosted the National Sprint Championships - a qualifying event for Rio2016.

Get in Touch for Wayfinding Advice
Use of wayfinding is becoming more and more popular as councils, government and organisations recognise the importance of efficiently directing people around a space. Especially important in crowded environments,  businesses are realising that there is an equally critical safety aspect to helping people to navigate their way during an emergency. Event organisers and venues have a responsibility to ensure that users of their facility are kept safe - and this is where signage plays its part.

Interactive digital wayfinding signage is also great way to protect and engage guests. Use of modern technology will let users find information and self-explore an area using touchscreens, video walls, digital kiosks or digital wayfinding displays.

Signs & Lines/Yap!digital @ 5 Meliador Way, Midvale, WA 6056

JCDecaux recently upgraded some of their existing digital and static sign assets with the addition of some new digital screens, totems and a digital lightbox at Perth Airport's Terminal 3 and Terminal 4.  
 
Our challenge was to achieve an extremely tight completion schedule with night works so as to not interrupt normal flight operations in the airside environment. All in all the Yap!digital team managed the design, manufacture and installation of 12 major new digital assets - for the full story refer to our Case Study below.

OSHE Turnkey Service – From Start to Finish
 
Our turnkey service ensured that all the critical elements of the project were handled by one team, to the highest professional standards.  Achieving the programme deadlines required a huge effort and did not go un-noticed. The Retail Business Development Manager of Perth Airport had this message for our team:
 
‘Thank you for the role you played in getting T4 done! Building partnerships and working collaboratively with others to meet shared objectives is a Perth Airport competency pillar, which this is a great example of.’
The project methodology included:

• Permits & SWMS.
• Preparation of OH&S documentation including site inductions.
• Engineering review.
• Removal and Installation methodologies.
• Traffic Plan.
• Bracket and fixing manufacturing.

Signs & Lines have been working with City of Stirling since 2011. The City has 1,780 hectares of open space for reserves, parks, natural conservation areas and special purpose lands, including over 600 hectares of natural bushland, 26 wetland sites and 6.5 kilometres of coastal dunes and beaches. All these areas require effective signage and this is where we come in...
 
The City's sign strategy for its Parks and Reserves follows a hierarchy of signs of monolith and directional format in varying size, construction and styling. Read our Case Study below that outlines our signage projects. 

The design rationale caters for single or double sided plinths or monoliths, with high quality 2 pac painted header section, and a deliberately rusted lower section known as corten. The reverse side of the sign is either painted, or finished in just corten to provide a more rustic, natural effect that blends into the environment and is a low maintenance finish. Corten steel is blessed with atmospheric corrosion resistance which enables it to be used in a paint-less form for many structural/architectural ways.

Whether you need inspiration, design assistance or strategy consultation, the team at Signs & Lines can take your next signage project into the next level. This Case Study explores some recent work in Mandurah for a new Bowra & O’Dea funeral location and our team were proud to be part of this facility’s outstanding development.  

The design brief included stained glass windows to allow colourful light to shine through into the funeral chapel spaces. To achieve this our scope of work included an illuminated lightbox, window graphics at high level, reception signage and glass door graphics.

Read our Case Study for all the details on this impressive signage project. For more about Bowra & O'Dea click here or visit https://bowraodea.com.au/

Whether you need inspiration, design assistance or audit/strategy consultation, the team at Signs & Lines can take your next signage project into the next level.
