North Williamstown Station
A Safer Commute for Williamstown Residences
North Williamstown Station, part of Victoria's Level Crossing Removal Project, has been recognised at the Victorian Premier’s Design Awards for its innovative and sustainable design. The project eliminated the dangerous Ferguson Street level crossing, improving safety and accessibility for commuters while preserving Williamstown’s heritage. During construction, crews excavated around 50,000 tonnes of soil, clay, and tough basalt rock from the rail corridor, enough to fill 20 Olympic-sized swimming pools.

Ferguson St, North Williamstown Station is a cladding project where our team supplied and installed over 2,500 sqm of cladding, featuring a vibrant canopy with picture perforation, as well as additional work on lift shafts and soffits.
This included the fabrication and installation of 4mm anodised aluminium panels for the station canopy and 4mm perforated aluminium panels, powdercoated to achieve the detailed picture perforation.
Additionally, we provided cladding for lift shafts and soffits, ensuring a cohesive and visually appealing exterior.
Meeting tight deadlines was a priority throughout this project. Our approach involved meticulous review and coordination of shop drawings with other trades, enabling us to manufacture components well in advance due to extended fabrication lead times.
To optimise efficiency, we strategically pre-installed anodised elements onto structural steel in an adjacent parking lot. These components were then expertly craned into place during night shifts, seamlessly aligning with the project’s timeline and minimising disruptions.
