The new state of the art SA Power Networks depot on Crennis Mines Road, Angaston is on track to completion August 2020. Construction began on the $6 million development in January 2020 and will serve as a direct replacement for the Nuriootpa Depot.

There has been a strong focus on sustainability and technology throughout the design process of this new facility alongside the operational and safety features that aim to reduce light and heavy vehicle interactions.

Features of the new building include large rainwater tanks, electric vehicle charging station, permeable pavements, 100kW solar system and the latest security and monitoring features.

Pike Constructions has been engaged by Axiom Properties Ltd as the Head Design & Construct Contractor for the delivery of the $50m World Park Precinct – ESS State Headquarters.

This exciting project based out at Keswick will be the new headquarters of the South Australian State Government’s Emergency Services Sector, housing the following agencies:

• CFS – Country Fire Service
• MFS – Metropolitan Fire Service
• SES – State Emergency Service
• SCCC – State Command & Control Centre

The effectiveness of South Australia’s Emergency Services Sector is to provide efficient and effective services to the community by bringing together the above agencies in a bespoke new headquarters that is modern, flexible, collaborative and resilient.
