Always thinking outside the square, Foreman-Sheean explore and adopt a range of alternate methods and materials to provide Henderson College with a cost-saving, high-quality solution.
Henderson College is a private Christian school located in Irymple, Mildura in Victoria. A member of Adventist Schools Australia, Henderson College provides Prep to Year 10 education to children in the local community.
Experiencing rapid expansion, Henderson College required four new architecturally designed classrooms, offices and a kitchen to accommodate their growing population of students.
Foreman-Sheean worked closely with Weilong Wines to not only gain a deep insight into Stage 1A but also to develop a comprehensive understanding of the overall project. Appreciating the importance of forward-planning, Foreman-Sheean needed to ensure that the electrical design and construct, particularly the underground power installation, would facilitate future construction stages.
Weir Constructions, a large-scale commercial builder, won the contract to build the new facilities and engaged Foreman-Sheean to plan and install the electrical and communications components. Foreman-Sheean has worked with Weir Constructions on a range of projects for over 30 years and has also worked directly for the school, helping with their electrical maintenance.
With several tight deadlines to meet, this project needed to be completed quickly and efficiently, to ensure minimum disruption to the students.
Additionally, with the electrical scope being modified and updated throughout the project, Foreman-Sheean needed to consistently find alternative solutions that would result in a better outcome for the school.
Building four new learning studios for their Year 5 – 8 students as well as a state-of-the-art home economics facility, Henderson College required a trusted and experienced electrician to complete the electrical work to an exceptionally high standard.
Below is a snapshot of the full project scope:
Committed to delivering impeccable outcomes, Foreman-Sheean completed this project well within the required timeframe and with a ‘clean-sweep’ of the post-completion testing with zero defects.
Drawing on their expertise, the team recommended a number of more cost-effective variations, resulting in significant savings for the school. This included an alternative lighting package, which saved Henderson College $20,000.
