During the Clarence Road Valve Replacement project for Water Corporation, MacroVan provided essential onsite welfare facilities to support Saltire Infrastructure and MacroVac crews working continuous 12-hour day and night shifts. With around-the-clock operations on a busy metropolitan road, the welfare van ensured teams had safe, compliant, and comfortable amenities without leaving the site.

Client: Water Corporation

The Challenge

The valve replacements required a full pipeline shutdown and 24/7 operations to complete complex excavation and welding works within a condensed one-week window. Crews worked in rotating shifts beside a live roadway with restricted space, limited amenities, and strict fatigue-management requirements. Maintaining productivity and compliance under these demanding conditions required an onsite welfare solution that could support both day and night crews without interrupting work.

The Solution

MacroVan deployed a fully self-contained welfare van positioned safely near the work zone. The unit provided:

• A clean, compliant toilet with handwashing station
• Air-conditioned rest space for heat and fatigue management
• Kitchenette with fridge and facilities for meals and hydration
• Private, quiet area for breaks during overnight shifts
• Compact, mobile design suitable for tight access and roadside positioning

The van’s quick setup and professional presentation allowed seamless integration into the site layout, avoiding the need for multiple hire items or additional site preparation.

The Outcome

• Continuous 24/7 operations maintained with no welfare-related downtime
• Full WHS compliance for alternating day and night crew
• Improved fatigue management and overall crew wellbeing
• Reduced off-site travel for rest and hygiene breaks
• Enhanced safety and efficiency through onsite accessibility

The MacroVan welfare unit played a key role in maintaining compliance, comfort, and efficiency during the Clarence Road Valve Replacement project. Its mobility, rapid setup, and all-in-one facilities supported crews working extended hours in a constrained, high-traffic environment, helping deliver a complex infrastructure task safely, efficiently, and on schedule.
