Bus Depot for Swan Group and the Public Transport Authority

16 AUGUST 2023 Case Study # 3111

PROJECT VALUE: $1M - $1.2M

PROJECT BUILD TIME: 8 WORKING WEEKS ON SITE, 28 WEEKS TOTAL

CLIENT BRIEF

The requirement for a new Transperth bus depot facility was identified, and this included an administration office, workshop, bus parking and car parking areas. This was a project we were contracted to by our partners Swan Group for the Public Transport Authority (the PTA is responsible for WA’s rail, bus, ferry, and coach networks in both metro and regional areas).

CHALLENGES

Procurement lead times for some products were longer than normal due to current supply issues affecting many industries.

AUSPAN SOLUTIONS

AUSPAN was able to use our shed division, which has economies of scale, combined with our in-house architectural, engineering, and drafting resources, to produce the required result for the client.

FEATURES

Collaborating with a variety of consultants and the principal’s architect to create an architecturally designed building in all aspects.
Engineered roof lift design to eliminate working at heights on the workshop roof.

Practical and efficient design.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL

AUSPAN have delivered an outstanding design and build package to our Jandakot North Bus Depot project. The brief included an 8-bay workshop, administration building and fuel wash bay cover. I was extremely impressed with the workshop construction methodology, which enables 90% of the structure to be completed at ground level mitigating a large amount of risk from working at height. The ground level completed workshop was lifted effortlessly and safely into position within an hour.

I very much look forward to working with all the AUSPAN team again on future projects.

AUSPAN TESTIMONIAL

It’s always great when a client has an open mind to new ideas to improve the overall project, which can be more challenging when you work with multiple consultants, but working with Swan Group proved to once again be as organised as it has been in previous instances.
