Pedestal systems engineered for fire and wind performance

Rooftops, podiums, and terrace spaces demand construction systems that perform under multiple pressures. Fire compliance, wind uplift resistance, acoustic performance, and long-term serviceability all need to be addressed within a single coordinated solution.

BuildGreen’s pedestal support system has been developed to meet these requirements, particularly for high-rise residential and mixed-use projects where performance and compliance are non-negotiable.

Tested performance for critical applications

The pedestal system has undergone Australian fire and acoustic testing, providing confidence for specification in environments subject to strict regulatory oversight. It is designed to withstand high point loads and resist wind uplift forces, supporting safe and stable installations at height.

These performance characteristics are especially relevant for rooftop plant areas, podium decks, and communal outdoor spaces where structural and fire considerations intersect.

Designed for complex build-ups

Pedestal systems allow finished surfaces to be elevated above the structural slab, creating space for waterproofing, drainage, and services. This approach supports better water management and simplifies future access for maintenance or upgrades, reducing lifecycle disruption.

Slope compensation capabilities also allow for consistent surface finishes across areas with falls, improving both functionality and visual outcomes.

Supporting sustainable construction goals

The system is manufactured using recycled materials, contributing to sustainability objectives increasingly embedded in project specifications. This aligns with broader industry expectations around responsible material selection without sacrificing performance.

For decision-makers, pedestal systems offer a practical solution where durability, access, and compliance must work together.
