When the City of Sydney engaged us to restore the multi-level public deck at Pirrama Road, Pyrmont, we knew it was going to be one of our most challenging — and rewarding — projects yet. The result speaks for itself.
The Problem: A Deck That Had Reached the End of Its Life
The existing hardwood timber deck at Pirrama Road had been in place for years, exposed to Sydney’s harsh sun, salt air, and constant foot traffic. By the time we arrived, the boards were blackened, warped, and splitting — with hazard patches taped over failing sections and drainage barely functioning. It was a safety issue in a high-traffic public space used daily by Pyrmont and Ultimo residents.
The brief was clear: remove everything and replace it with a durable, low-maintenance composite decking system that could handle the demands of a busy commercial environment — and look great doing it.
Before: The Old Hardwood Deck
The Solution: Modwood Premium Composite Decking
We specified Modwood composite decking for this project — and for good reason. Modwood is one of Australia’s most trusted composite decking brands, manufactured locally and engineered to withstand the coastal Sydney climate without rotting, warping, or requiring any maintenance.
The scope of works included:
- Full removal and disposal of the existing hardwood deck
- Installation of a new composite subframe system
- Modwood composite decking boards across the full multi-level platform
- Composite board tops on all existing concrete bench seating
- Aluminium anti-slip stair nosings on all steps
- Integration with existing drainage grates and tactile indicators
- Stainless steel handrail integration throughout
