ACMI at Federation Square: Custom fabrication & public-space installation case study

A large-format custom steel display enclosure fabricated and installed for ACMI Museum in the heart of Federation Square.

Project overview

Location: Federation Square · Melbourne CBD
Project type: Custom fabrication & public-space installation

RJL Commercial Group was engaged to coordinate a solution around the site's access, safety, presentation and day-to-day operating requirements. The work was planned as a complete commercial delivery, with the relevant steelwork, installation details and final site finish managed as one scope.

Scope delivered by RJL

• Detailed design coordination
• Twin custom steel display enclosures
• Installation within an operating public precinct
• Final fit, finish and handover

Design and site coordination

Commercial fencing and gate work must fit the real conditions on site. RJL reviewed the available clearances, existing surfaces, pedestrian and vehicle movements, tie-in points and the way the facility needed to remain operational during the works. Components were then coordinated to suit those conditions before final installation.

Installation in an operating environment

The site works were sequenced to maintain safe separation between the RJL work zone and the people using the property. Set-out, post installation, steelwork alignment and final fit-off were completed with attention to both long-term performance and the presentation of the finished asset.

The result

The completed project provides a durable, site-specific commercial solution with a consistent finish and clearly managed access. It reflects RJL's ability to take responsibility from planning and fabrication through to installation, commissioning and handover.
