Main Contractor for Refurbishment of Fencing at Avalon School (Wellington)

⁠⁠⁠i. General description of the Project: The project comprises fencing and gate remediation and replacement works at Avalon Primary School to address perimeter security issues, including removal of non-compliant fencing and gates and installation of compliant fencing and gate hardware.

ii. Outcome sought: The outcome sought is a compliant, secure perimeter and access control arrangement, including 1.8m-high fencing and secure, self-closing gates, to reduce opportunities for climbing and unauthorised exit.

iii. History: Inconsistent fencing heights below 1.8m, climb assists, unsecured and non-self-closing gates, and multiple uncontrolled access and egress points, creating a serious safety risk due to the site’s proximity to public areas and roads.

iv. Overview of the programme of which this project is a part: This project forms part of Avalon Primary School’s LSM-funded safety improvement programme and focuses on perimeter fencing and gate upgrades to mitigate uncontrolled student egress and improve compliance and site security.

v. Requirements for phasing and / or staged handover of the project: Works will need to be staged to maintain school operations and safety during construction, and some higher-impact activities may need to occur outside teaching hours or during school holidays, subject to confirmation with the School.
