FedEx Lighting Upgrade
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.
Westpac St George Refurbishment Lake Haven
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.
Taronga Zoo Electric Fencing – Upgrade
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.
Lightweight Construction Works at CHHC and PMBH
Volmac Group was engaged by NSW Public Works to deliver critical lightweight construction and fire safety remediation works across Coffs Harbour Health Campus (CHHC) and Port Macquarie Base Hospital (PMBH).
This project involved the targeted remediation of non-compliant fire-rated partition walls, including the upgrade and installation of new sections of lightweight construction walls to achieve full compliance with current National Construction Code (NCC) requirements. All works were planned and executed in strict accordance with the project technical specifications and drawings.
Delivered within active, live hospital environments, these sensitive upgrades were completed with zero compromise to patient care or clinical operations. Through close collaboration with NSW Public Works, we successfully coordinated and programmed the works to minimise disruption, maintain full hospital functionality, and uphold the highest standards of safety and infection control.
Schools Infrastructure Mechanical Upgrade
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.
National Arts School
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.
