The level of detail was extremely high, and on completion, Adelaide Airport said that this building had set a new benchmark for all future projects in and around the Aeromedical Precinct. The RFDS also recognised the high level of detail and aims to use this project as a template for future facilities around the country.

Lincoln Engineers identified from the early stages of the project it was critical to have the right partners on board to ensure the level of quality provided matched the expectations of the project & client. These project partners were engaged in the key areas of Shop Drafting, Steel Supply, Industrial Painting and Steel Erection. Precision Steel Detailers provided all the 3D modelling, steel detailing & integration amongst the different building elements including, precast, mechanical & 42m one of a kind hangar mega door. Bluescope Distribution backed the project from the very beginning with the supply of the highest quality Australian made Welded Beams & Structural members conforming to AS3678. Hi-Spec Industrial Coatings were engaged to provide all the surface treatment of the steel with a vast majority of steelwork being Top Coated to a Dulux Specification to ensure the steel is protected from the harsh coastal elements the Adelaide Airport precinct provides. Finally the Steel Erection was provided by Adelaide Rigging & Cranes whose experience, attention to detail & high safety standards ensured that the building was erected to strict building tolerances conforming to AS4100.

We were pleased to deliver this important project for Sarah Constructions on budget & also helping them to deliver the project on time for their client RFDS.
