Vertical Cable Balustrades, Ballarat VIC

Bespoke Wire & Rope collaborated with Nicholson Construction and Wardle to design, supply, and install vertical cable balustrades for the void above the foyer at St Patrick’s College Performing Arts Centre in Ballarat. The project required detailed shop drawings and early coordination to ensure the base structure could accommodate the system.

Location: 1431 Sturt St, Ballarat VIC

Completion Date: October 2023

Client: St Patrick’s College

Builder: Nicholson Construction

Architect: Wardle

Our Scope

Bespoke designed, engineered, and installed tensioned vertical cable balustrades to the foyer void area. Shop drawings and structural reaction reports were provided to the fabricators completing the base build, allowing them to incorporate suitable support and predrilled holes for precise cable installation.

To streamline the installation, Bespoke utilised in-house 3D printing to manufacture custom clips, expediting the process while maintaining precision.

The balustrades were installed to:

  • Provide compliant fall protection to the large foyer void

  • Integrate seamlessly with pre-fabricated base build components

  • Achieve architectural precision through detailed shop drawings

  • Deliver efficient installation supported by innovative 3D printed tools

This project demonstrates Bespoke’s ability to combine advanced design coordination, engineering detail, and on-site innovation to deliver compliant balustrade systems in complex architectural spaces.
