John Holland builders won a large contract to repair local central QLD infrastructure damage after the floods. They needed a precast concrete facility to meet their needs so they engaged XXL SHEDS to design and supply a roof cover to meet the requirements.

Within 7 weeks XXL SHEDS engineered design and delivered all the materials on site ready for erection using XXL SHEDS’ Hybrid design technology, catering for cyclonic conditions and very high building with a 34 metre clear span.

John Holland were ecstatic with the project as they now have a purpose designed facility to meet their needs that came in 35% under their budget. Soon after construction was completed, the structure was put to the test with category 5 Cyclone Marcia passing straight through the region leaving the XXL SHEDS designed shed standing proudly on top of the hill without any structural impediments!
