- Radar works at Townsville, as a direct contract with LCLE and Raytheon Australia, work was completed with all safety compliance and documentation, including a detailed completion report.
2023
- Provided radar dome and structural tower inspection at Tindal Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) radar site. This work was under British Aerospace and Marconi Electronics Systems (BAE) who currently hold this site contract. BAE requested LCLE to perform work due to experience and site knowledge which led to the completion of several services including resealing and repainting the dome.
- Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA), Little Ramme Head 90m walkway, this involved removing the walkway destroyed by bushfires, design, build and install the new walkway in a remote area by helicopter. Seen by AMSA to be included as a preferred tenderer. This included quoting and submitting the tender submission for the work, project managing the project from the start to completion. Detailed project report was completed to ISO format and approved with the finial site inspection having high praise on the workmanship and innovation while complying and meeting all Australian standards. See below two images for information and detail of the scale and level of work carried out in this project.
