Wacol – QCS Gun Range Training, facility

Overview

The Queensland Corrective Services partnered with Fleetwood to introduce a state-of-the-art Gun Range Amenities block at their Wacol prison complex. This facility boasts a covered deck and an advanced ABS system, providing an exceptional training environment for both new and existing staff members. With high-end anti-vanadium fixtures and finishes, this facility seamlessly blends into the surrounding bush landscape.

Solution

Fleetwood successfully transformed the initial design into an exceptional modular creation. The dedicated team ensured a smooth and seamless process by demolishing the existing amenities block and flawlessly installing the turnkey solution. Customised facilities were provided to include:

• landscaped rear tufted area
• large covered decks furnished with tables and chairs
• roof access system with harness and gutter guard for safety
• anti-vandal fixtures and finishes
• emergency eye wash and shower facilities
• concrete paths and stairs
• perimeter secured with prison-spec fencing
• ABS system and gas HWS system

Despite a short 5-week on-site time
frame, Fleetwood proudly completed the
project within 3 weeks after delivery.

Benefits

The new building seamlessly blends with the natural environment, thanks to its bush surroundings and spacious covered deck, creating a harmonious atmosphere. It was a successful collaborative effort with QCS, the 6th project at Wacol recently.

The building’s versatility allows for various purposes, going beyond its intended range. By incorporating ABS beds, the new building eliminates the need for the old septic system, preserving trees and adopting a sustainable approach. Positive feedback from QCS and Qbuild further confirms the success of this project.

Overall, the new building offers seamless integration, flexibility, sustainable design, and positive client feedback, making it truly beneficial.
