Sitzler was engaged to design and construct a new twin 10 lane 25m Firing Range within Robertson Barracks Close Training Area. Being the first facility within this new complex, the site required all new infrastructure including a new bore, solar and battery power and septic tank. The design of systems was optimised around an offline solar and battery power source.

Sitzler worked closely with Defence stakeholders in developing the design to ensure maximum utility of the project. This included a rubberised floor complete with underfloor drainage to minimise maintenance and maximise the safety of range users.

The facility can be operated at night with adaptive lighting. Extensive earthworks were required to transform an old quarry into the new firing range facility. Through the integration of the design and construction team, Sitzler was able to maximise the use of local sourced fill materials, reducing truck movements on public roads and reducing importation of materials to the site.
