Unison’s Ongoing Involvement

When it comes to construction, design, and architecture, the products you choose matter. It’s not just about performance — it’s about trust, accountability, and long-term value. That’s why buying 100% Australian-owned and manufactured products makes a real difference.

1. Quality You Can Rely On: Australian manufacturing is held to some of the strictest standards in the world. Local production means tighter quality control, superior craftsmanship, and products that are built to perform and built to last.

2. Supporting Local Industry: Every purchase helps sustain Australian jobs, skills, and suppliers. By choosing local, you’re investing directly in the future of our communities and keeping specialist expertise right here at home.

3. Faster Lead Times & Reliable Supply: With manufacturing based in Australia, products can be delivered quickly and without the risks of overseas shipping delays. Local control also means greater flexibility when you need a custom or time-sensitive solution.

4. Designed for Australian Conditions No one understands the demands of our climate, regulations, and building standards better than local manufacturers. Products designed and tested in Australia are purpose-built for our environment.

5. Proven Compliance: Australian-made products are manufactured to meet national standards, codes, and regulations. This gives builders, architects, and certifiers peace of mind that projects will pass inspections and stand the test of time.

6. Accountability & Service: When you buy Australian-owned and made, you’re dealing directly with the manufacturer. That means responsive support, technical expertise, and a partner who stands behind every product.

As part of the extensive redevelopment at St Joseph’s College, Gregory Terrace, Unison Joints has proudly supplied over 530 metres of precision-engineered expansion joints to support the transformation of a six-level primary school building.

This landmark Brisbane project focuses on structural performance, safety, and long-term resilience—and our systems are built to deliver just that.

The majority of joints installed feature our PyI fire-rated wall strips, all designed and manufactured in our Brisbane factory. These innovative wall joint systems are fitted with intumescent fire seals and are:

Tested and certified to meet AS 1530.4 and BS 476 fire standards
Built for reliable passive fire protection
Designed for durability and low maintenance across a building’s lifespan.
In addition to our PyI systems, we also supplied seismic wall joint systems to accommodate thermal expansion, contraction, and seismic activity. These joints are engineered to absorb building movement—ensuring safety without compromising aesthetics or performance.

All Unison systems installed at Gregory Terrace were developed by our in-house engineering team. Manufactured locally, and dispatched on time to meet construction milestones. With certified compliance and project-specific engineering, our solutions are trusted by leading contractors and consultants across Australia.

Educational facilities like St Joseph’s demand joint systems that meet strict fire codes, handle structural movement, and stand the test of time. We’re proud to be part of projects that prioritise both student safety and engineering excellence.

Liverpool Health Expansion & Development

Helen Scott — Mon, 14 Jul 2025 02:32:01 +0000

Liverpool Health and Academic Precinct Redevelopment
As part of the major redevelopment of the Liverpool Health and Academic Precinct in New South Wales, Unison Joints proudly supplied the complete range of expansion joint systems throughout the facility. This included floor, wall, and ceiling joints, as well as critical seismic-rated floor seals designed to accommodate multi-directional movement while maintaining safety and performance in a high-traffic healthcare environment.

Our systems were selected for their proven durability, compliance with relevant Australian Standards, and ability to integrate seamlessly with various flooring finishes across surgical theatres, public corridors, and service zones. The inclusion of seismic joints was essential due to the building’s structural design and performance requirements in the event of ground movement.

Unison’s team worked closely with the project architects, engineers, and contractors to ensure all jointing solutions were delivered on time, fully coordinated, and suited to the functional and aesthetic needs of the facility. This project further reinforces Unison Joints’ position as a trusted supplier to major healthcare infrastructure projects across Australia.
