Stage 2 involves the construction of a new 15,000 bed male correctional precinct
The Southern Queensland Correctional Precinct Stage Two is located at Millers Road, Spring Creek, about 12 kilometres north-east of Gatton and 100 kilometres south-west of Brisbane in the Lockyer Valley.
Stage Two involves the construction of a new 1,500-cell, high security facility for male prisoners in Gatton, in order to address growing demand for correctional facilities in Queensland over the next three to five years.
The Queensland Government declared that this new correctional centre will adopt a ‘health and rehabilitation’ operating model, with the aim of supporting safer communities through enhanced mental health and drug and alcohol rehabilitation services for prisoners, with a particular focus on addressing the ice epidemic and its link to violent and property crime.
RBM Systems was engaged by the mechanical contractor A.G.Coombs to supply the large DN400 flanged air & dirt separators for this project with the addition of expansion vessels and auto pressurisation systems.
