– A structure more than 3 metres high.
– a second storey: Certification by an engineer is required for stands of two storeys or more where the second or subsequent storey will be occupied.
– a solid ceiling or roof area more than 18 square metres.

Please complete the Custom Stand Plans Permit in the Exhibitor Dashboard.
Please send completed permit form and drawings of your custom or upgraded stand plan to kbanks@amtil.com.au no less than 6 weeks prior to the exhibition.

Stand or Booth Construction:
ICC Sydney requires temporary structures built for exhibitions or events to comply with relevant legislation and are constructed with utmost concern for the safety of the public, employees and contractors.

Due to fire engineering restrictions, the maximum permissible stand height is five (5) metres.

To meet fire safety and National Construction Code (NCC) requirements, please pay careful attention to the following:

– A stand with a roof or ceiling is required to provide additional fire protection equipment, such as a smoke detector and portable CO2 or dry chemical extinguisher.
– Halogen Lights are not permitted.
– All temporary spot lights or the like are to be a minimum of 300mm from the partitions or combustible goods.
– Any custom-built stand with a floor area of more than fifty (50) square metres is to be provided with at least one (1) alternative means of egress to the walkways.
– Doors built into a stand need to comply with the requirements of an exit door i.e. open outwards with a push bar or lever handle.
– Any door incorporated into the stand and not providing an alternative means of egress is to have a NO THOROUGHFARE sign affixed.
– Barriers incorporated into a custom-built stand are to be designed so that they yield to pressure without toppling.
– A maximum average fuel load height of 5m is permitted from ground level to its highest point for the lower exhibition halls e.g. it is acceptable for lighting, cables and lightweight banners to be located at high level near the trusses but not densely stacked combustible products and stands. All custom stand plans require approval from ICC Sydney prior to construction.
– Double storey stands require an engineer’s certificate prior to construction and an Engineer’s signoff once constructed to ensure compliance with certification.

Stand Design:
Important considerations for a safety-conscious stand design include the following:

– Structures must not halls do not exceed 5m in height.
– Strict compliance with the National Construction Code 2016 (NCC) and all other relevant Australian Standards.
– Procedures are in place for safely erecting and dismantling the stand once on site, within the allocated time frame.
– Stand dimensions fit the allocated space with sufficient clearance.
– Materials used for stand construction comply with fire hazard properties set out in the NCC 2016.
– ICC Sydney will request submission of all information or documentation confirming the retardant capabilities of the materials.
– Use materials that do not cause dampness, stain, not readily ignitable or capable of emitting toxic fumes in case of ignition.
– All two storey custom stands will require an engineer’s certification on completion.
– Plywood, hardwood, pulp board or fibreboard are to be rendered flame-resistant by a process deemed acceptable by fire authorities.
– When decorating or theming, materials such as crepe paper, corrugated cardboard, straw, hay bales, untreated hessian or PVC sheet (except on floors as a protective membrane) are not to be used without prior ICC Sydney approval.
– Sawdust, tan bark or wood chips of a reasonable size may be used to decorate floors, provided a protective membrane is laid first and chips are kept slightly moist at all times. Cleaning charges will apply.

Stand materials:
The use of combustible materials such as plastics, paper, foam and thin strips of timber should be limited and generally confined for decorative purposes. Their use should be kept to a minimum and not used for general wall covering.

Overhead fabric materials used as stand covers, canopies, or used as curtains or draperies, must be permeable to water.

Please ensure that materials used for lining, drapes, backdrops, blinds or overhead structures, signs, banners, theming, temporary structures, or similar for displays are fire retardant as per the methods defined in AS/NZS 1530.3:1999. ICC Sydney may require documentation confirming the fire-retardant capabilities of the materials.

Ceiling Height:
It is recommended that exhibition booths considering a covered ceiling use materials that are water permeable. If design or stored stands require a non-water permeable ceiling please submit your plans for review.

Please note that each non-water permeable ceiling will be considered on a case by case basis. Stands with non-water permeable ceilings as a minimum must be fitted with an automatic battery backup smoke detector and CO2 or dry powder fire extinguisher. ICC Sydney reserves the right to request automatic dry powder extinguishers in addition to aforementioned for any stand it deems necessary.

Note all two storey stands are deemed to have a ceiling.

For all enclosed areas, with or without a non-water permeable ceiling, which are intended for the storage of goods or for the installation of electrical services (i.e. distribution box etc.), a portable dry powder or CO2 type fire extinguisher is required within the enclosed area. The fire extinguisher must have an indicator sign and remain accessible at all times.

Based on the above, if an electrical/storage closet has a non-water permeable ceiling but is less than 9m2, a portable powder type or Co2 fire extinguisher is required.

Raised floor, steps and ramps:
Stand construction and access must be constructed as per the requirements outlined in the National Construction Code 2016 (NCC). The following is a summary of additional requirements, which must be met by designers and builders to ensure adequate access, mobility and to reduce the likelihood of slip and trip incidents:

All raised floor sections or ramped edges are to be free of sharp or dangerous edges and anything that poses a trip hazard.

Edges of thin decorative flooring such as carpet, vinyl, matting, wood or the like, are to be taped down or firmly secured.

Raised floors under 115mm in height:
Ensure all raised floors with a height of less than 115mm have a clearly distinguishable ramped edge.

To prevent trip hazards on standard 32mm high raised floors, ramped edging with a gradient no less than 1:3 is generally acceptable in the exhibition industry; however, please note that a 1:3 ramped edge does not constitute a disabled access ramp, For raised floors above 32mm and below 115mm it is recommended that the gradient of the ramped edging be decreased to 1:8.

All ramped edges are contained within the contracted space.

Stairs and ladders:
All steps and stairways must comply with the requirements of AS 1657 or the National Construction Code.

Ladders are to comply with AS/NZS 1892.5:2000 Portable ladders – Selection, safe use and care.

Perimeter Walling:

The potential impact on neighbouring stands must be considered when planning walling greater than 1.2m high on an outside perimeter of your stand. Expanses of high perimeter walling greater than three metres in length must be approved by the organiser.

Stand visibility:
The exhibition organiser requires all stands to be open for visual inspection at all times.
Please submit a risk assessment and Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) to support any Hot Works permit application.

Permit application forms can be found in the Exhibitor Dashboard.

Sub-letting of Exhibition Space

No exhibitor is allowed to sub-let or allocate space on their stand to another company without prior consent from AMTIL. Non-approved exhibits will be asked to remove their displays from the exhibition.

Swarf Bins

AMW organisers work to ensure all scrap metal from the exhibition is recycled. Swarf bins are emptied regularly and are included in the exhibitor package in the following sizes.

Small Swarf Bin – 120 litre – 48cm x 92cm**
Large Swarf Bin – 240 litre – 58cm x 1.08cm

**preferred size due to weight when full

Please refer to your Exhibitor Dashboard for instructions on how to order your swarf bin(s).

Testing & Tagging

Prior to use at the AMW Exhibition, all electrical equipment must be tested and tagged.

Electricians will be available on site during move in to test leads and cables. This is included in your exhibition package.

Exhibitors must ensure that all loose cables are secured to avoid tripping hazards.

Avoiding the following is critical to safety:
– use of damaged electrical leads or untagged/out of date, tools or equipment
– use of electrical leads, tools and equipment in damp or wet conditions unless they are specially designed for use in those conditions
– placement of electrical leads where they may be damaged (e.g. on vehicle access ways, over sharp edges etc.)
– overloading electrical circuits
– use of modified tools or equipment
– use of double adaptors.

Walling

Under no circumstances may exhibitors nail or screw any article or display to the stand walls which may damage the walls. Any damage caused to panels will be charged to the exhibitor.

Perimeter Walling:
The potential impact on neighbouring stands must be considered when planning walling greater than 1.2m high on an outside perimeter of your stand. Expanses of high perimeter walling greater than three metres in length must be approved by the organiser.

Washing & Disposal Area

Under no circumstances may the toilet areas of the building be used for obtaining water, disposing of unwanted waste or washing of paintbrushes etc. Provision will be made inside the exhibition area for exhibitor’s wash and disposal needs.

Wi-Fi

Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the venue. Details will be provided to all exhibitors the week prior to the exhibition.

Water, Waste and Compressed Air

Water is provided as part of your AMW Stand Package, but must be ordered using the Plumbing Order form in the Exhibitor Dashboard Checklist to ensure supply can meet demand.

Cold Water and Waste systems are provided for use by exhibitors with outlets in each of the primary floor pits. Due to restricted access to water supplies on the exhibition floor, it is crucial that all plumbing requirements are ordered well in advance of the move in date.

Connections:
Water supply with 1/2″ BSP female control valve
Waste supply with 32mm pipe

It is the responsibility of the exhibitor to order connection from the service pit to equipment. AMTIL will provide a licenced plumber on site to assist with connections as necessary.

Please pre-book your water and waste requirements using the plumbing order form in the Exhibitor Dashboard.

Compressed Air

Compressed Air is provided as part of your AMW Stand Package, but must be ordered using the Plumbing Order form in the Exhibitor Dashboard Checklist to ensure supply can meet demand.

Compressed Air systems are provided for use by exhibitors with outlets in each of the primary floor pits. Due to restricted access to air supplies on the exhibition floor, it is crucial that all plumbing requirements are ordered well in advance of the move in date.

Connection is via ½ Inch BSP female thread with isolation valve on the end of approximately 6 meter long 10mm flexible hose delivering air at approximately 8 bar.

Up to ¾ inch female supply line with valve is also available.

Adaptions can be made to larger and smaller connections as needed. Should a larger flow rate be required please contact Kim Banks at kbanks@amtil.com.au
