Our Approach
How this job was delivered — the bridge from constraint to result.
- ▸Design and construct a 3-metre Bluedog fence with a 6-metre tracked sliding gate and a 12-metre swing gate, plus remove and reinstall the existing chainwire perimeter, after QBuild awarded the job on short notice.
- ▸Sequence construction to correctional security protocols — access approvals and controlled movement of people and materials — so the live Wacol facility kept operating.
- ▸Interface the new fence and gates with existing infrastructure inside a confined, secure environment, selecting durable materials and finishes for longevity.
- ▸Keep Project Manager Nathan Crook and Site Foreman Ben Newsham on the package so installation quality held inside the live, secure environment.

The Outcome
- Efficient construction sequencing minimising disruption to ongoing facility operations
- Durable materials and finishes selected for longevity
