Volmac Electrical was engaged to deliver a back-of-house lighting upgrade, including the full replacement of emergency lighting, as a key initiative within the building’s broader sustainability and energy-efficiency program.

The project involved the supply and installation of approximately 1,300 high-efficiency LED light fittings across plant rooms, rooftop plant areas, lift motor rooms, the main switchboard room and other critical back-of-house spaces. By transitioning to modern, energy-efficient LED technology with improved controls and compliant emergency lighting systems, the works support reduced operational energy consumption, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and improved long-term asset performance in alignment with contemporary environmental and building-performance objectives.

The entire upgrade was successfully completed within a two-week program, minimising disruption while delivering measurable progress toward the facility’s sustainability targets.

Volmac Group successfully delivered a comprehensive design-and-construct refurbishment of the 550sqm Westpac / St George Lake Haven branch within a tightly managed 4–5 week program.

The project delivered a complete branch refresh, encompassing the creation of modern customer service areas, new transaction rooms, upgraded staff facilities and kitchen amenities, refreshed ATM zones, energy-efficient lighting, new ceiling tiles, and premium carpet throughout. Critical electrical works also included the safe removal and replacement of recalled Eaton RCBOs, all executed in full compliance with Westpac’s stringent corporate standards and safety protocols.

Through careful after-hours programming and precise coordination, the entire upgrade was completed without a single day of branch closure — ensuring uninterrupted service for customers and staff at all times.

This project is a clear demonstration of Volmac Group’s ability to deliver complex, high-stakes commercial fit-outs under demanding conditions. Combining design-and-construct capability, strict adherence to major corporate standards, and a proven track record of zero-disruption delivery, Volmac continues to set the benchmark for reliable, high-quality multi-trade project execution across the banking and commercial sectors.

Volmac Group was engaged to upgrade the electric fencing system on the gorilla enclosure at Taronga Zoo. The works were delivered under strict operational constraints, with minimal downtime permitted to ensure the welfare of the animals and continuity of zoo operations.

The project coincided with a scheduled enclosure clean, which added significant complexity to site access, sequencing, and coordination. Despite these challenges, the Volmac team successfully completed the upgrade within the agreed timeframe.

This project highlights Volmac Group’s ability to deliver specialised electrical works in sensitive, live environments where reliability, speed, and careful site management are critical.

Volmac Group was engaged by the NSW Department of Education to deliver a comprehensive mechanical services upgrade at Kegworth Public School. This project included all pre-works such as detailed testing and assessment of the existing electrical and mechanical infrastructure to accurately verify load capacity, system compatibility, and future-proofing requirements. Following this analysis, we successfully supplied and installed eight new high-efficiency air conditioning units, delivering enhanced climate control across key learning areas.

The upgrade has significantly improved indoor air quality, thermal comfort, energy efficiency, and long-term asset resilience for the school community.

This project involved like-for-like roof replacement on the ancillary toilet block at the National Art School (former Darlinghurst Gaol), 156 Forbes Street, Darlinghurst NSW 2010—a State Heritage Register item. Works included new tin roofing sheets, treated pine framing, insulation, Gyprock ceiling linings, repainting of internal ceiling and walls with compatible paints, new lighting and temporary removal/reinstallation of windows with resealing.

The toilet block and its roof, linings, finishes, and windows are non-significant fabric; the site’s heritage significance stems from its 19th-century gaol structures, sandstone elements, and cultural history, none of which were affected.

In the live educational environment (ongoing classes, students, and foot traffic), challenges were managed through enhanced supervision, phasing around the timetable, temporary alternative toilet facilities, dust/noise controls, barriers, daily inspections, work-zone demarcation, and coordination with campus management—ensuring minimal disruption and zero interaction with significant heritage elements.

Protective measures included debris containment, protective coverings, trade briefings on heritage boundaries, and strict limitation to the toilet block area. The works preserved the structure’s appearance and function without physical, visual, or associative impact on the item’s overall significance. Supporting records (photos, compliance details) were maintained for the exemption form.

Volmac Group is proud to have collaborated closely with Schools Infrastructure NSW to successfully deliver a modern, freestanding classroom at Chifley College Shalvey Campus — creating an inspiring, future-ready learning environment for Year 7–10 students in Western Sydney.

As the full design-and-construct head contractor, Volmac took complete ownership from concept to handover. Our in-house multi-disciplinary team managed every stage with precision: bulk and detailed excavation, comprehensive civil works, structural engineering for a solid foundation, high-quality concrete slab pouring, robust metal framing erection, plus full installation of new electrical sub-mains, power distribution networks, contemporary LED lighting, fresh plumbing services, and energy-efficient air conditioning systems.

By leveraging our integrated civil, structural, electrical, mechanical, and hydraulic expertise — all under one roof — we delivered a seamless, turnkey solution that minimised disruption to daily school operations, ensured the highest standards of quality, safety, and finish, and met strict government compliance.

Completed on time and within budget, this durable, sustainable classroom stands as a testament to Volmac’s commitment to building educational spaces where students can learn, grow, and thrive — aligning with NSW public education goals and our zero-emission service delivery ethos.
