MiTek’s PosiStrut App is an electronic catalogue

giving you instant access to information about

PosiStrut floor and roof trusses. It contains the latest

installation guides, case studies, and links to short,

instructional videos demonstrating the amazing

versatility of this ingenious truss. Plus, there’s an

inbuilt PosiStrut Calculator that provides you with

detailed information on serviceability and dynamic

performance to allow an informed choice of materials

to be selected that best suit your needs.

The PosiStrut App is easy to navigate, even allowing

the user to find facts fast with a ‘Search’ feature –

plus a ‘Favourites’ section. There’s also a ‘Help’ area

with standard Qs and As – and a ‘Contact’ feature

where you can send in questions and have them

answered by a qualified MiTek Engineer. Having a

handy, on-site reference tool like the MiTek PosiStrut

App makes so much sense.

Masonry a Feature in a thoroughBred

Centre oF exCellenCe

Baines Masonry was chosen to supply the masonry content to FDC Constructions

$110M project for William Inglis & Son to build a multipurpose, state-of-the-art,

global centre of excellence for the display and sale of Australia’s outstanding

thoroughbred horses that incorporates the latest technology in international real-

time auction sales and the highest level of comfort and hospitality for its global

clientele at Warwick Farm.

Known as ‘Riverside Stables’, the facility is established as a key venue in Western

Sydney catering to a multitude of events and functions. The feature of the Warwick

Farm precinct is a new 5 star luxury hotel, named The William Inglis, part of the

MGallery collection by Sofitel.

Baines Masonry products were chosen because of their excellent qualities of finish,

strength, tolerances and their high fire and acoustic capabilities. Although Baines

supplied the masonry component the centre is built on, much of it is covered by

a number of facades. The feature masonry that was chosen was a smooth face,

AppinStone colour, to highlight the stables and a retaining wall near the luxury

hotel, the blocks needed the strength and colour to blend in with the complex. The

feature masonry has a silicone additive injected into the mix during production which

helps supress efflorescence and provides a higher barrier to water penetration than

masonry can achieve.
