Erica Facilities Depot

Erica was one of four projects awarded to Kubale Constructions by DEWLP as part of a facilities upgrade in East Gippsland for their fire-fighting fleet. This site was designed to facilitate the storage and maintenance of their new Unimog and G-Wagon vehicles including a large and separate dangerous goods storage shed.

After demolition of the existing buildings was complete, significant civil works were undertaken on the road and drainage including asphalt and curbing. New buildings of approximately 780m² were erected on slabs using conventional steel portal frames and clad with Colourbond. Individual bays were built for each vehicle with an industrial wash-down bay at the end with vacuum equipment.

The contract included the installation of self-bunded diesel and petrol storage tanks, bowsers, a canopy, bollards and an underground Pureceptor oil and water separator tank system. The site was then completed with a full security upgrade including access control, CCTV, and large sliding palisade gates.

This project was handed over within budget and on time to a satisfied client.
