Anna Meares Velodrome I COX Architecture | Architecture & Design

Client

Stadiums Queensland

Constructed for the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games, the Anna Meares Velodrome features over 10,000 m² of architecturally exposed structural steel. The specification required a coating system capable of delivering exceptional colour retention, extended maintenance intervals and high-performance corrosion protection within a streamlined application process.

Coating Specification

PPG SIGMAZINC™ 109HS
Zinc-rich epoxy primer

PPG PSX® 700
Engineered polysiloxane finish coat

The two-coat specification was selected in place of a conventional three-coat epoxy/polyurethane system, delivering enhanced application productivity while maintaining long-term asset protection.
