Campbellfield Hardstand

Total Special Projects has successfully delivered a two-stage design and construction hardstand project for Centennial at Campbellfield VIC.

Stage 1 involved finalising design and securing permits for a 4,000m² cement-treated crushed rock hardstand to support truck movements and parking. Works also included new concrete areas, demolition of precast panels to create access points, a new roller door for deliveries and a 340m² structural steel awning at the rear of the factory.

Stage 2 involved the installation of a new fire sprinkler system, alongside upgrades to fire brigade access including the installation of a new fire tank and a prefabricated pump house.

The facility remained fully operational throughout works, with Centurion maintaining constant freight movements – a key factor in our staged planning and delivery approach.

During construction, rock was discovered within the hardstand pavement. Our team collaborated closely with the client to value manage the situation: repurposing the rocks as a boundary feature around the hardstand area. This initiative not only mitigated additional disposal costs but also enhanced the visual appeal of the finished site.

While tender documentation originally specified a traditional blockwork pump house, our team collaborated closely with the client and fire contractor to opt for a prefabricated, weatherproof enclosure. This alternative reduced construction time and potential delays, with the fully assembled unit manufactured off-site and craned into place in a single lift.

A great outcome for all stakeholders and another example of smart, efficient project delivery by the Total Construction team.
