Bespoke Wire & Rope worked with Ireland Brown Constructions, Sally Draper Architects, and Control Fab to deliver tensioned cable balustrades and engineered Flexi-mesh anti-throw screens at Korowa Anglican Girls School in Glen Iris. The project required meticulous detailing and engineering to ensure both compliance and architectural precision.

Location: Glen Iris VIC

Completion Date: May 2022

Client: Korowa Anglican Girls School

Builder: Ireland Brown Constructions

Architect: Sally Draper Architects

Our Scope

Bespoke designed, engineered, supplied, and installed a multi-level vertical cable balustrade system and a rooftop anti-throw screen.

For the staircase balustrade, the detailing and shop drawing phase was critical. Holes were laser cut in the steelwork and pre-drilled into stringer rails, requiring perfect alignment to ensure the cables tracked consistently. Each cable was pre-assembled in our factory, fixed at the top, and threaded through intermediate stringers before being swaged and tensioned on site, delivering accuracy across all levels.

The rooftop anti-throw screen was engineered and fabricated with attachment cleats welded to the main sub-structure, designed to withstand the loads of the tensioned mesh system. The result was a compliant, transparent system that maintained safety without obstructing views.

The systems were installed to:

  • Provide compliant fall protection for a multi-level staircase

  • Deliver rooftop anti-throw screening to prevent risk from elevated areas

  • Achieve millimetre-precise alignment of cables through engineered detailing

  • Balance safety compliance with architectural intent

This project demonstrates Bespoke’s expertise in delivering integrated balustrade and screening systems for complex education facilities.
