LYSAGHT^® KLIP-LOK OPTIMA^™

The 12 Waves Logistic Centre is a combination of an international automotive industrial centre and a commercial development centre situated at Batu Kawan, Penang that boasts of 72 acres. It comprises of offices spaces, restaurants, cafés and other facilities of convenience to meet the objective of integrating a mundane industrial environment with a vibrating scene of hospitable amenities, even housing a Japanese Garden that is nearly 700 metres.

The 12 Waves is considered the largest warehouse in Malaysia and deemed as a next-generation logistics hub. The conception of such a massive area had also encompassed the opportunity for daylighting, rainwater collection and production of solar energy.

With such ambitious planning, careful thought had been placed into creating a structurally strong roof to support the conception. One of the main challenges of the project was preventing water penetration, as the bullnose detail used to create the wave-like edges for the roofline spans a total of 685,000 sq ft.

LYSAGHT^® KLIP-LOK OPTIMA™, the widest concealed fixed metal roof cladding by NS BlueScope Lysaght Malaysia, was the most ideal roofing profile to address this challenge as the sheet is not punctured with fasteners. Further, it is available in long lengths without end-lapping for water tightness maximization.

Approximately 8,000 pieces of LYSAGHT^® HR-29^® covering over 300,000 sq ft were installed in the upper wall of the warehouse as HR-29^® is an economical wall cladding that is quick and easy to install with pierced fixing method, which saved both time and cost for the construction.

As the warehouse is situated in a coastal setting, COLORBOND^® ULTRA MATT steel by NS BlueScope Malaysia, that incorporates with THERMATECH^® technology makes the perfect material for the roof and wall cladding, as it is able to deliver thermal comfort for year-round peace of mind. It is also reputed to withstand marine and corrosive environments as it prevents the risks of steel sheets from rusting or corroded over time without compromising aesthetics.
