Construction of New Training Centre at Lavarack Barracks
August 2022 – March 2023
For this project, SHP Construction & Civil carried out construction of a new building to function as an undercover group training shelter suitable for night-time training, adjacent to existing, similar structures located within Lavarack Barracks.
SHP supplied and installed reinforcement, footings and concrete slab along with all structural materials required to construct the shelter. This project also included the extension of the existing awning on the adjacent structure. SHP supplied and installed all the water, drainage, stormwater, electricity, power points and lighting necessary for the shelter to function as desired.
Stakeholders advised, during construction, concerns in the provided design that rain could still impact the covered area, so SHP provided a design for, and constructed, a two-stage louvre system to three sides of the high section of the newly constructed shelter in order to fill in the gap between the new covered area and the existing building to eliminate rain ingress.
