EST09535 Robertson Barracks Bulk Fuel Trailer Park

The Robertson Barracks Bulk Fuel Trailer Park (BFTP) project involved transforming a greenfield site adjacent to an existing BFTP—intended for replacement—into a 6,300m³ concrete pavement area, including 16 parking bays for L121 vehicles.

The scope of works encompassed:

• Demolition

• Clearing & grubbing

• Site preparation

• Stormwater works

• Construction of:

- Hardstands & pavements

- POL shed and;

- Service infrastructure

The project was delivered in two separable portions:

• Separable Portion 01 (SP01): Construction preliminaries & early works

• Separable Portion 02 (SP02): Main project works

Defence projects have stringent HOTO requirements, which were applied to this work package.

INNOVATION AND SUCCESS
 

The Robertson Barracks Bulk Fuel Trailer Park project featured a range of forward-thinking construction methods and long-term value-adds. To meet a compressed timeline ahead of the wet season, AKJS adopted a diamond-pattern slab pour sequence, allowing greater flexibility, minimising trade overlap, and improving safety. Sectional pouring also improved durability, crack control, and ease of maintenance. By self-performing the subbase, base course, and Cement Treated Base (CTB), AKJS ensured a robust foundation with enhanced pavement lifespan. Upgrades to the Electrical Distribution network and installation of communications infrastructure further future-proofed the site, aligning with Defence’s Whole of Life (WOL) and Environmental & Sustainability Development (ESD) objectives while maintaining full compliance with Defence Standards.
