Overview
Challenge
The Avondale Police Station project demanded coordination, consideration and community engagement. Adding to this complexity, the site’s operational nature as a functioning police station required strict security clearances, limited access windows, and careful scheduling to avoid disrupting essential services.
What we faced:
- Design Constraints: Standard softener designs weren’t suitable for remote environments, where maintenance access, climate, and resource availability can be limited.
- Operational Sensitivity: Working at a remote police station required security clearances, limited site access, and tight timelines to avoid disrupting essential operations.
- Limited Maintenance Access: Remote environments often lack specialist personnel and easy access to tools or parts, making it difficult to maintain standard systems without tailored design considerations.
Solution
For Avondown Police Station, we designed a robust plumbing solution built for remote conditions, scheduled works around police operations, and deployed a fully equipped team to complete the job securely, on time, and without disruption to critical services.
How We Delivered:
- Tailored Design: In consultation with the Client and Design Consultants, we developed a simplified, durable softener system using robust materials and chlorination dosing.
- Secure Execution: We coordinated closely with police operations, obtained necessary security clearances, and scheduled works around operational needs to avoid disruption.
- Maintenance-Ready Setup: The system was designed specifically for environments with limited access and resources, ensuring it could be maintained easily without specialist intervention.
