Overview
Monkeytoe was proud to partner with Foodstuffs to deliver a safe, functional, and architecturally aligned access and screening solution for the New World Point Chevalier supermarket. The project required a mix of height-safety systems and plant platform integration to support ongoing operations, maintenance, and visual harmony.
The Challenge
Foodstuffs needed a solution that provided secure roof access and screening for essential plant equipment while maintaining compliance with safety regulations and ensuring the installation blended with the building’s design. The solution also had to be durable, lightweight, and installed with minimal disruption to supermarket operations.
The Solution
Monkeytoe supplied and installed a complete aluminium system, including:
- Roof-mounted handrails – providing compliant fall protection without compromising the roof structure.
- Walkways – lightweight, non-corrosive aluminium pathways for safe and easy roof access.
- XBEAM Plant Platform – a prefabricated, high-strength platform for supporting HVAC and other rooftop equipment, designed for rapid installation.
- Louvre Screening System – providing an architectural façade that discreetly concealed plant equipment while maintaining airflow and aesthetic consistency.
Key Benefits
- Height Safety Assured – fully compliant roof-mounted handrails and walkways ensured safe maintenance access for staff and contractors.
- Durability & Low Maintenance – marine-grade aluminium construction guaranteed long-term performance in the coastal Auckland environment.
- Architectural Integration – the louvre screening system provided visual appeal, reducing the visual impact of rooftop plant equipment.
- Efficiency in Installation – prefabricated XBEAM platform and modular components allowed fast, efficient installation with minimal disruption to supermarket operations.
Outcome
The project was delivered on time and to the highest standard, giving Foodstuffs a future-proof solution that prioritised safety, compliance, and design. New World Point Chevalier now benefits from an integrated system that ensures operational peace of mind while keeping the supermarket’s modern look intact.
