Acoustic Sliding Gate Installation, Melbourne Shopping Complex

Lee Group designed, fabricated, and installed a bi-parting, ground mounted sliding gate for a major shopping complex in Melbourne, Victoria. Spanning 14 metres wide and standing 7 metres tall, the structure combines acoustic panelling with full automation, giving the site a gate system built to manage both access and noise at an industrial scale.

Engineering for Scale, Built for Precision

Each gate leaf weighs approximately 7 tonnes and was fabricated in three large sections, a decision made to allow safe transportation and controlled on-site assembly rather than attempting to move a single 7 tonne span across metropolitan roads. Tunnel posts and a custom track system were engineered specifically to carry this weight while keeping the gate moving smoothly under daily use.

At this scale, there is no margin for approximation. Every post, track, and connection point was engineered to hold and move several tonnes of steel and acoustic panelling without compromise, day after day.

A Gate That Works as Hard as the Site Around It

Shopping complexes operate long hours with constant vehicle and pedestrian movement, and a gate of this size needs to disappear into that routine rather than slow it down. Lee Group’s solution pairs acoustic panelling with a custom sliding gate motor, giving the site a fully automated system that manages access smoothly while reducing noise transfer for everyone working and shopping nearby.
