Chatswood Transport Interchange

EnduroShield™ permanent protective coating has been applied to all of the overhead glass awnings on the NSW State Government’s current Chatswood Transport Interchange Project at Chatswood railway station.  Specified by award-winning architects and urban designers, Cox Richardson/Design Inc, the coating was professionally applied by PCT Global.  

The glazed roof structures will extend the retail capacity whilst providing a visible and attractive linkage to either side of the station. The awnings will provide natural light and protection to the commuter concourses and newly created retail space whilst assisting in enhancing existing connections to buildings surrounding the interchange. With extensive glass awnings totalling over 2000sqm, EnduroShield™ for Glass was specified on the $360 million project because of its permanence and easy-clean properties. Varying in size from 32sqm to 500sqm the glass awnings are constantly exposed to weathering, pollution and break dust from the train system below.

The coating will protect the glazed surfaces by sealing the porosity of the glass, protecting against staining, etching and the general deterioration caused by weather and pollution. EnduroShield™ is ideal for glass awnings particularly those which are cumbersome and expensive to maintain. The coating will reduce maintenance costs by minimising time spent cleaning as well as extending the period between cleans. Overall, the appearance of the interchange will benefit, with the feature glass awnings remaining cleaner for longer.
