Department of Defence

GK Solutions supplied and installed blast and forced entry resistant doors for the Australian Department of Defence’s Explosives Ordnance (EO) storage buildings. The project included a 3-metre by 3-metre automated sliding door, a pedestrian access door and an emergency egress door. Challenges included meeting the stringent safety standards for EO storage and obtaining design approval from all stakeholders, including AECOM and Sälzer Security.

This extensive project also involved the installation of door sets for nearly 30 EO buildings across Defence bases from Darwin down the Eastern Seaboard to Adelaide, including 10 sets in a remote NSW location.
