– Construction of a 11 520m² industrial facility
– Roofing materials must withstand C5 (sea-shore surf) external and C3 (industrial/polluted) internal environments, Corrosivity category according to TG016 Corrosion Protection.
– Materials must be inherently corrosion resistant, prevent galvanic reaction, require minimal maintenance and comply with AS 4389
Traditional steel products are not inherently corrosion resistant. Galvanised steel will rust rapidly in high-corrosion zones, reducing asset life and increasing maintenance. Coatings can delay rust but require frequent inspection and maintenance. Once coatings fail, corrosion accelerates, making traditional solutions unreliable for harsh environments.
Image to right is an example of a project that has not used stainless steel roof safety mesh in a coastal location and corrosion has occurred.
Stainless Steel PVC Coated Roof Safety Mesh was the solution, to combat corrosion and galvanic reactions. The benefit of stainless steel PVC Coated over galvanised is that when the PVC coating on galvanised is damaged or cracked the galvanised wire will corrode below the surface of the PVC. Whereas stainless steel is inherently corrosion resistant and will not rust.

Inherently corrosion resistant for harsh coastal and industrial environments
Prevents galvanic reaction between dissimilar metals
Independently tested and complies to AS4389
Stainless Steel Roof Safety Mesh offers long-term durability, minimal maintenance, and superior corrosion resistance compared to traditional galvanised mesh.
The solution ensures worker safety, asset longevity, and compliance with stringent standards, making it ideal for highly corrosive and industrial environments.
The site of Kwinana is characterised by its industrial landscape, within 5 kilometres of the coast with strong winds, hot dry summers and mild wet winters.
