Outback Museum of Australia
Building an iconic tourist attraction in the heart of the Australian outback.
Murweh Shire Council and March Studio invited Spantech to collaborate to develop the roofing system for the landmark Outback Museum of Australia (OMOA) project.
To achieve the architect’s vision, Spantech invented the Spantech Longreach Tapered profile, a variation of the Longreach 800 profile that is mechanically tapered to achieve cover widths from 850mm to 400mm wide.
Spantech was also invited to tender on the overall project and was appointed as Principal Contractor in September 2023. Spantech’s bid offered a value management solution that included Spantech Formwork 300 to cost-effectively build several suspended slabs. Council advised that other stand-out factors in the bid included Spantech’s extensive experience delivering complex projects to Regional Councils, and a comprehensive safety, quality and environmental management system supported by OFSC Accreditation.
Spantech handed over Stage 1 in December 2024.
