Transport depot with hardstand and workshop

Operationally specific built environments

Transport and logistics facilities need to accommodate large vehicles (B-doubles, semi-trailers, rigid trucks, and increasingly B-triples and quad-axle combinations), provide adequate hardstand for vehicle storage and manoeuvring, house workshops for fleet maintenance, and include secure, compliant storage for dangerous goods where applicable.

We understand these requirements and bring them into the design from the first consultation.

Facility Types

Everything a transport operation needs

Freight Depots & Terminals

Office and administration areas, dock facilities for linehaul trailers and rigid trucks, driver amenities, and hardstand for trailer parks and staging — designed around fleet composition, trailer turn volumes and dock throughput.

Truck Wash Facilities

Reinforced concrete wash pads, high-pressure water systems, trade waste treatment and compliant drainage — enclosed or partially enclosed bays with recycled water systems and compliant trade waste pre-treatment.

Refuelling Stations

On-site diesel refuelling — above or below-ground fuel storage, dispensing islands, access hardstands, spill containment bunding, emergency shut-off and environmental compliance — delivered with specialist petroleum equipment contractors.

Vehicle Maintenance Workshops

Clear-span structures with clearance for semi-trailers, heavy-duty floors, inspection pits, oil and lubricant storage, overhead cranes and compliant waste management, built to Queensland environmental requirements for vehicle repair.

Driver Amenities

Showers, locker rooms, mess rooms, rest areas and (in some cases) medical facilities meeting transport-industry WHS requirements and enterprise agreement amenity standards.

Site Planning

Designed around vehicle dynamics

The planning of a transport site is strongly influenced by vehicle dynamics — we model movements before documentation is finalised.

B-double swept paths constrain accessway widths, turning radii and dock spacing
Swept-path analysis software ensures the site design is operationally viable up front
Key SEQ precincts — Acacia Ridge (rail freight terminal), Wacol, Eagle Farm
Gold Coast corridor — Yatala and Stapylton, with active project experience

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions clients ask us

We coordinate specialist environmental consultants who manage the Environmentally Relevant Activity (ERA) approvals required for truck wash operations and petroleum storage under Queensland\u2019s Environmental Protection Act, preparing the ERA application and supporting documentation as part of our service.

Yes. Retrofitting fuel storage and dispensing infrastructure into an existing hardstand is achievable, subject to site constraints and environmental compliance. We assess the existing site and design an installation that meets current standards.

It depends on fleet composition and trailer turn volumes. A typical regional linehaul depot may require 3,000–8,000 m² of hardstand for trailer parks, manoeuvring and dock access — in addition to the building footprint. We prepare site capacity analyses as part of early design.

Truck hardstands subject to frequent heavy vehicle loading should be designed for a 30-year design life with periodic maintenance — typically 250–350 mm reinforced concrete on a prepared sub-base, with designed joint patterns and appropriate curing. We engage a pavement engineer for each application.
