Parliament House - Canberra, Australia
ARMM was engaged by Mitchell, Giurgola & Thorpe
to provide a complete roof design on the Parliament Building in
Canberra, Australia. ARMM was given the responsibility to perform
research of modified roofing materials, design concepts, and to
develop an overall strategy as to individual building material types
throughout the entirety of the structure.

In working with Fred Foot, A.I.A. and the administration
of the Parliament Commission, ARMM developed an overall strategy
for all waterproofing and dampproofing materials. The building is
a sub-grade structure; total cost of the building is $2,000,000,000.00.
The long-term involvement of ARMM and Robert J. Moore was fully
recognized by the Queen of England. ARMM's performance level in
preparing and maintaining the documentation of our individual craft
was noted at the Grand Opening Ceremonies of the building. ARMM's
investigation with expansion joints and through-wall expansion joints
was subsequently fully developed into ASTM Specification #981, which
is now recognized worldwide.
