The South Australian Sports Institute (SASI) is a world-class high-performance training facility dedicated to developing elite athletes through cutting-edge technology, research, and education. As part of its commitment to innovation, SASI sought to enhance its training and analysis capabilities with state-of-the-art audio-visual (AV) systems, ensuring an immersive and data-driven environment for athletes, coaches, and researchers.

Pro AV Solutions (SA) designed and implemented a tailored AV ecosystem that supports a wide range of sporting disciplines and performance analytics. The project encompassed everything from real-time video analysis and advanced display systems to integrated communication platforms, allowing for seamless collaboration and data sharing.

The facility spans three floors, deploying technology in over 30 spaces to maximise training, learning, and performance analysis. “Our goal was to provide SASI with flexible, world-class AV technology to support athletes and students alike,” a Pro AV Solutions spokesperson shared. “Key installations include more than 145m² of LED screens, 40 LCD displays with integrated control systems, and a floor-projection mapping simulation space. These systems transform training through immersive simulation and real-time performance analysis,” the spokesperson added.

Specialised AV features such as the bike lab camera system enable enhanced performance tracking, while the impact-resistant LED screens deliver high-resolution visual content.

Pro AV Solutions (SA) began work onsite in April 2024, deploying 22 skilled South Australian employees to design, install, and program in partnership with a specialised LED contractor.

“We’re proud to bring this vision to life, setting a new benchmark for AV integration in sporting facilities in South Australia,” the spokesperson concluded.

Known for their precision and attention to architectural detail, the GMR Interiors team was tasked with the installation of high-performance ceilings, partitions, and stud framing that define the South Australian Sports Institute’s unique interior spaces.

Spanning an impressive 4,900m² of partitions on the ground level, 3,800m² on Level 1, and 3,600m² on Level 2, along with 2,200m² of external framing, GMR Interiors brought scale and sophistication to each area.

Complementing these partitions, ceilings were installed across 2,700m² on the Ground Level, 3,100m² on Level 1, and 2,800m² on Level 2, providing a seamless and functional design throughout the institute.

“Our role in this project was extensive,” said Seth Powell, Project Manager at GMR Interiors. “We handled everything from insulation and plasterboard to the Level 5 finishes for the Central Heart stairs — a feature that stands at an impressive 11m.”

The work included custom 13m high partition walls for the basketball court, delivering durability and refined aesthetics suited to high-traffic sports environments.

Due to the complex slab heights and custom design requirements, GMR Interiors adapted their approach with meticulous planning and execution. “We used custom-made interior stud work and plasterboard from local suppliers to meet the project’s high standards and curved architectural design,” added Gary Powell, Managing Director. This locally sourced, high-quality material allowed GMR to deliver robust structural support while honouring the intricate aesthetic requirements of the space.

With over 70 team members deployed at peak times, the project required intense coordination across multiple trades and building floors. The success of the installation hinged on strategic pre-planning to align material logistics with the project’s condensed schedule. “Delivering such a high-quality finish in a short program was a challenge, but it speaks to our team’s commitment to excellence,” Seth noted.

As Adelaide’s longest-standing waterproofing specialists, Mezcon Dayproof brought over 35 years of proven experience to the transformative Norwood Green project, delivering durable, high-performance solutions tailored to high traffic environments, providing a critical safeguard against long-term structural deterioration and costly remediation.

“We installed a complete waterproofing system from Mapei, with the scope including waterproofing for the podium plaza on level two, the retaining walls, planter boxes, and floor areas,” Operations Manager George Rowan explained. “We used a torch-applied bitumen membrane renowned for its durability and proven performance. The proprietary material comes in rolls, and provides a reliable, long-term waterproofing solution.”

In high-risk areas such as retaining walls, Mezcon Dayproof installed a double layer of membrane along with a protective drainage sheet (HDPE) to ensure maximum protection and structural longevity, using a controlled heating process to achieve full adhesion to the substrate.

While technical challenges can arise in a large-scale development like Norwood Green, George credits a smooth workflow to strong collaboration with the builder. “Buildtec were great to work with,” he said. “Materials were delivered to our yard and craned over the building when needed. Everything was well-organised.”

With a track record spanning over 35 years, Mezcon Dayproof has built a solid reputation for excellence in both residential and commercial sectors.

In addition to waterproofing, the company also offers concrete remediation, truncations, specialist grouting, shotcrete, carbon fibre reinforcement, crack injection (acrylic, pu, epoxy, etc), epoxy repairs and applications, polyurea spray and applications, as well as expansion joints, and all types of water sealing services, interior and exterior.

“Projects like Norwood Green really showcase our expertise in torch-applied membranes,” says George. “It’s where we shine, applying best practices and proven systems to ensure the long-term success of
high-profile builds.”
