The Shipside Support Tower, situated between two berths at BAE Systems’ Henderson facility, is built to maximise efficiency.

  • Sector Defence
  • Client BAE Systems
  • Location Henderson WA
  • Value $3.4M
  • Contract Construct Only

It combines facilities for support staff and the trade workforce, including offices, meeting spaces, a dining area, storage and designed and constructed infrastructure to support access to ships.

The tower has been designed to be able to move around the base, which services a range of vessels.

Our project team was focused on maintaining close contact with the client, BAE Systems, to ensure work did not interrupt shipyard operations.

During the project, we were awarded separate development within the same shipyard, a Supervisors’ Office and Training Centre. This project was awarded by BAE Systems under a separate Design and Construct contract, and was delivered a week ahead of schedule.

This project was awarded Best Office Building $1.5m – $5m at the WA MBA Professional Excellence in Construction Awards 2019, and received a High Commendation for Commercial Construction $1m – $25m at the 2019 Western Australia Building Professional of the Year.
