HMAS Stirling - Secure Test & Integration Facility

The Secure Test Facility in HMAS Stirling provides support to Defence’s sensitive testing operations. Actus was approached to transform an existing building within the Naval Base into this important facility.

Performing the roles of project architect and delivering comprehensive design services from conception to detailed documentation, Actus achieved this while adhering to strict security standards. Navigating the complex coordination required to liaise with multiple stakeholders in Defence, their distinct requirements were incorporated into a unified design. Throughout the project, Actus responded to the rapidly evolving needs of the customer, maintaining flexibility while ensuring the integrity of the security measures inherent in the design. The Secure Test Facility was an invaluable project in contributing to Actus’ considerable expertise in the Defence sector, which has been developed through multiple projects across several Defence sites across Australia. Actus’ Defence sector portfolio continues to grow in scale and complexity.
