Mt Hotham Grating
Escape the city for fresh, crisp mountain air and some of the best Australian panoramic views in Mt Hotham. Nestled among the Victorian Alps of the Great Diving Range, Mt Hotham receives visitors year-round. Activities vary according to season and there’s always a new adventure to be had. A popular spot for skiing and snow activities in the winter, it transforms to walking trails, horse riding and various other outdoor activities festivals.
Treadwell was engaged to provide the grating for an outdoor area of the Mt Hotham resort.
Project Challenges
- The selected material had to be customisable to meet the aesthetic requirements of the project.
- The selected decking would be exposed to extreme heat and cold, being on a mountain range. The material would have to remain robust while exposed to the environmental expansion and contraction.
- The surface had to be anti-slip, especially in snow conditions.
