Delivered in live school environments, the works required detailed staging, night shifts for high-impact tasks, and strict safety protocols, particularly around asbestos-containing materials in older buildings. Significant electrical upgrades, including main switchboard interfaces with Energex, were also completed. The project achieved strong social outcomes, with 32 apprentices engaged (including 3 Indigenous trainees), and over $6.6 million injected into the local economy. Partnering with 50% Indigenous-owned Project HVAC, Alder supported local employment, Indigenous participation, and workforce upskilling through targeted training and development initiatives.
