THE BUSINESS CHALLENGE

The construction of a new pilot training facility at the Pearce Air Force Base in Western Australia would take 3 years to complete but in the meantime the RAAF needed to continue training its pilots.

The solution was to create a temporary facility to house the 5248 Pilot training system. However the temporary facilities would need to be of the highest specifications. Off the shelf solutions would not suffice.

Project Managers Laing O’Rourke turned to Onsite to meet the challenge.

ONSITE RENTAL GROUP’S APPROACH

Onsite’s portable building specialists settled on a turnkey approach satisfying stringent safety, security and timing requirements.

The approach involved installing and commissioning refurbished buildings that would need to be relocated from existing hire fleet in WA including the Pilbara. More than a hundred buildings were transported 1,600kms.

Four months of major works on electrical modification, mechanical ventilation and structural layout and design transformed the buildings into a modern temporary high spec training facility for the RAAF.

THE BUSINESS ADVANTAGE

The temporary training facility is recognised as having the highest specifications of any portable buildings in WA.

The RAAF is so stoked with its temporary facilities, they say they won’t be leaving them un less the new facility is much better.
