ATCO Gas Australia
The ATCO Gas Site Redevelopment was a design and construct project that consisted of the refurbishment of existing warehouses and the construction of new training, office and workshop building.
The entire facility remained fully operational during the works which involved careful staging and coordination with ATCO. A large temporary office and workshop compound was constructed on the site by PS Structures to accommodate ATCO’s operations during the project.
The majority of the buildings are steel framed and clad with colorbond. All office environments are air-conditioned using specialist gas powered air conditioning.
The buildings were designed to accommodate the site going completely ‘off grid’. This involved extensive design work through the liaison with a specialist renewable energy consultant. The electrical installation accommodated solar and battery storage, mains changeover switches, gas powered generators and the infrastructure to accommodate a hydrogen electrolyser.
The training building was the centre piece of the project and included a large gas fire place, custom lighting, mock commercial kitchen, training rooms and amenities. The finishes included timber cladding, laminam floor tiles, frameless glass balustrading and epoxy flooring.
PS Structures also constructed a large ‘4 Seasons’ native garden (representing each of the seasons) to revegetate an existing part of the site. This included a water feature, custom etching to concrete paving, and a large boomerang entry.
The works were completed on time and to the complete satisfaction of ATCO Gas Australia.
