Vehicle Compound and Roof Structure

Overview

Pructon was engaged to design and construct a durable vehicle compound for the Primary School in Gove. The project required our Gove-based crews to perform earthworks, concrete installations, and structural steel assembly. Steel components were fabricated in our Darwin workshop, then transported to the site for installation. The work included comprehensive site preparation and ensured a reliable and functional space for vehicle parking and storage.

Scope of Work

• Engineering and Design of Steel Structure and Footings: Engineered a robust design for both the steel structure and concrete footings to meet durability and load-bearing requirements.
• Detailed Excavation for Footings: Performed precise excavation work to establish stable footings for the compound structure.
• Removal of Unsuitable Material and Replacement: Cleared unsuitable material from the site, replacing it with compacted, high-quality fill to ensure stability.
• Concrete Footing and Carpark Slab Construction: Poured and finished concrete footings and slabs, creating a sturdy foundation for the compound.
• Fabrication and Installation of Steel Structure: Fabricated structural steel in the Darwin workshop and transported it to the site, where it was expertly installed to form the roof and compound framework.

Outcomes and Benefits

• Secure and Durable Vehicle Compound: The new compound provides a safe and weather-resistant area for school vehicle storage, enhancing the operational facilities of the school.
• Efficient Use of Local Resources: Utilising a mix of locally based crews and the Darwin workshop ensured project efficiency and reduced transportation costs.
• High-Quality Construction and Long-Term Value: Through quality materials and meticulous construction, the vehicle compound offers long-term durability and protection, serving as a valuable asset for the school community.
