Project Overview

Design and construct a 3-metre high Bluedog fence with a 6-metre wide tracked sliding gate system and a 12-metre swing gate. Additionally, removal and reinstallation of the existing chainwire perimeter fence at a live correctional facility.

The Challenge

This project required Fencepac to respond to real site conditions, stakeholder requirements, and delivery constraints while maintaining quality, safety, and program performance. Our role was not just to build the scope, but to manage the work in a way that kept the broader project moving.

Our Approach

Fencepac coordinated the project through disciplined planning, close communication with the client and adjacent work fronts, and practical site leadership. Design, procurement, programming, and installation were aligned so the team could adapt to changing conditions without losing control of safety or quality.

The Result

The finished outcome reflects what clients expect from Fencepac: a well-managed project, a compliant and durable installation, and a team that can work through complex site conditions while protecting program certainty.

Key Challenges

  • Project awarded on short notice — design, procure, and deliver on time and safely
  • Strict compliance with security protocols, access approvals and controlled movement of personnel and materials
  • Interface management with existing infrastructure in a confined, secure environment

Positive Outcomes

  • Efficient construction sequencing minimising disruption to ongoing facility operations
  • Durable materials and finishes selected for longevity
  • High-quality installation delivered within a live, secure environment
  • Full compliance with project and correctional facility security standards
