Mainfreight Larapinta

The FKG Group was engaged to design and construct a new freight and logistics facility for Mainfreight on a greenfield site in Larapinta. The project delivered a 26,644m² warehouse comprising a freight centre and logistics building connected by a breezeway, supported by administration areas, dangerous goods storage and a battery room. Sustainability measures included underground settlement tanks, oil–water separation systems, insulated tilt‑up panels and energy‑efficient lighting.

External works included a 20,390m² concrete hardstand designed for long‑term durability under heavy vehicle movements. Poor soil conditions and the client’s requirement for large glazed openings in tilt panels shaped the structural approach. Innovative insulated panels on western elevations improved thermal performance. Staged construction enabled early internal works, allowing the facility to be completed within an accelerated eight‑month program.
