Marriott Road Office & Workshop For JAH

Scope of Works

Shelford Constructions delivered a purpose-built office, workshop and storage facility designed around the operational requirements of a future industrial occupier servicing the Oil & Gas Exploration industry.

The facility incorporated heavy-duty workshop and storage areas capable of accommodating large volumes of casings, pipes, machinery, equipment and tools.

Three operational divisions were brought together within a single integrated facility, supported by structural steel, tilt-panel construction, gantry cranes, hazardous-goods storage and specialised power and service infrastructure.

Designed for Heavy-Duty Operations

The Marriott Road facility was designed to accommodate demanding industrial operations while providing flexibility for future growth.

Extensive storage areas allow for the handling of large quantities of casings, pipes, machinery and equipment using plant with loads of up to 32 tonnes.

Gantry cranes provide access throughout the workshop, while the concrete hardstand was designed to accommodate 32-tonne wheel loads associated with the movement and handling of heavy equipment and materials.

The facility also incorporates dedicated hazardous-goods storage and specialist infrastructure supporting welding, fabrication, NDT services, painting, pressure testing and pipe cleaning.

A substantial 8m x 15m vertical folding hangar door provides the access required for large-scale workshop operations.

Integrating Industrial Function & Design

Despite its heavy industrial function, the facility incorporates a considered architectural response.

Structural-steel elements were integrated behind an architecturally detailed façade, bringing three operational divisions together within one cohesive development.

The external material palette includes custom stainless-steel fascia, gutters and downpipes, coloured spandrel glass and painted concrete fin panels incorporating a colour gradient.

An exposed aggregate entrance and native-inspired landscaping provide further detail to the client and office-facing areas of the development.

Construction Challenges

Construction Within an Airport Precinct

The project's location within the Jandakot Airport precinct introduced specific requirements affecting construction planning and methodology.

Lighting, building heights and construction activities needed to account for the operational requirements and restrictions associated with the airport environment.

This required careful consideration throughout project planning and construction.

Environmental Requirements

The facility incorporated specialist washdown and spray-painting areas requiring environmental controls appropriate to their intended operations.

These elements were designed and delivered to satisfy the environmental requirements applicable to the facility.
