The project

The Bloem Plaza project presented unique challenges that required multiple mounting solutions to accommodate different site conditions.

Lumasol supplied a variety of customised mounting structures, including:

  • Bespoke ballasted east/west systems designed for various concrete slab surfaces, ensuring stability without roof penetration.
  • Elevated mounting structures engineered to span over existing obstructions, maximising previously unusable space.
  • Custom solar carports featuring a unique large cantilever design, reducing the number of support posts within parking bays to minimise the risk of vehicle damage.
  • Standing seam roof mounts to secure panels to an uncommon and unique roof sheet.

The success of this installation has since led to additional work with our client, reinforcing Lumasol's reputation for delivering high-quality, tailored mounting solutions.
