Delivering Smart Signage Solutions for a Landmark Transport Project
Custom hoarding case study: When the John Holland Pty Ltd, CPB Contractors Pty Ltd, and Ghella Pty Ltd joint venture (JCG JV) needed a standout hoarding solution for their work on the Sydney Metro – Hunter Street Station, Mesh Direct was proud to step in. This ambitious infrastructure project, part of the Sydney Metro City & Southwest line, is set to transform how people move through the heart of the city. And as always, big builds call for bold signage.
The Project: Hunter Street Station Custom Hoarding
Located right in the bustling Sydney CBD, the Hunter Street Station will serve as a vital interchange between Sydney Metro West and Sydney Metro City & Southwest. With excavation and construction happening in one of the city’s busiest corridors, the need for effective, safe, and visually appealing site hoarding was paramount.
But this wasn’t just any ordinary construction site—excavation works unearthed significant artifacts from Sydney’s past, sparking public curiosity and media attention. The challenge? Providing security and branding while also allowing passersby to engage with the progress.
The Solution: Custom Vinyl Hoarding With A Viewing Window
Working closely with the JCG JV team, we delivered a custom vinyl hoarding print that not only served the practical need for site security and dust control but also offered maximum visual impact.
✅ Full Site Coverage: We created a seamless barrier using premium vinyl banners with a 4-sided keder edge for a clean, tensioned finish—no sagging, no flapping, just sleek perfection.
✅ Crisp Branding: Bold, high-resolution graphics highlighted the project, creating brand presence for the joint venture while maintaining compliance with local regulations.
✅ Interactive Window: A key feature was the incorporation of a cut-out viewing window within the hoarding, offering curious Sydneysiders a literal window into the works—and a glimpse into the fascinating artifacts uncovered during excavation. This clever design fostered community engagement while still delivering on safety.
The Impact: More Than Just A Custom Hoarding
This hoarding wasn’t just a physical barrier—it became part of the story.
As artifacts of Sydney’s history (dating as far back as the early nineteenth century) were uncovered, passersby could safely observe the progress, sparking conversation, curiosity, and excitement about the city’s transformation.
With thousands of daily pedestrians in the CBD, it was vital that the signage not only protected and promoted but also enhanced the urban landscape—and that’s exactly what we delivered.
