About the project
Robertson Barracks is a major defence site located near Palmerston in the Northern Territory. Achieving the client’s ‘fast track’ delivery strategy, BMD Constructions provided a flexible and collaborative approach which accommodated for design changes during the early works of the project.
Scope
Construction of 21 building pads for future command office buildings
Construction of aviation maintenance hangars and logistics support sheds
Construction of sewer, water, stormwater, electrical and communication services for the future command and maintenance infrastructure
Construction of internal roads, street lighting and revegetation
Installation of 25,000m2 of DG14 asphalt pavement for helicopter taxiways
Construction of two concrete helipads and nine concrete helicopter hardstand areas
Outcomes
BMD Constructions proposed and implemented a redesign of the electrical reticulation system, reducing the number of substations and conduits, and lowering the client’s construction and ongoing maintenance costs. In working collaboratively with the client, the project team was able to incorporate scope changes throughout the project and engage local resources where possible to enable local participation and ensure the best for project outcomes.
