NACP Projects carried out this project to provide facilities to support AIR5428 Phase 1 (AIR5428PH1), Additional Flight Training Device (FTD) within the RAAF Base Pearce. On completion, the new facility housed additional FTDs at the Base, supporting current and future training throughput and providing redundancy for upgrades or unserviceability.
The works were undertaken on a greenfield site within RAAF Pearce requiring services diversions before commencing the works. NACP Projects built a new two story 540m2 building, with 80m2 on plant room on the second level. Supporting infrastructure included an external plant area 110m2, hardstand area, 130m2 covered walk way and associated landscaping and services infrastructure connection. The works were delivered over two stages:
Stage 1 involved the fit out of the building structure, and operational FTD simulator rooms, communications room, external plant area for the chiller equipment, two mirrored FTD simulator rooms. The FTD simulator rooms are full height covering the ground floor and first floor.
Stage 2 works included the remaining building elements to complete the building and associated integration into the wider base.
These works occurred while Lockheed Martin Australia occupied Stage 1 areas of the building and required integration surrounding safety, services interruptions and coordination with personnel on site.
The Artwork: Mooditj Karrak
We proudly gifted the artwork Mooditj Karrak by Justin Martin, a Traditional Owner of the Perth region with deep cultural ties to the Wadjak people. This piece celebrates First Nations heritage and connection to Country, featuring Karraks (Red-tailed Cockatoos) as symbols of guardianship and protection. Inspired by Nyungar line work and the Rainbow Serpent, the artwork reflects themes of cultural identity, community, and respect for the land, while honoring the role of our Defence Force and young pilots as modern-day protectors. Through gifts like this, we aim to preserve and share the richness of Indigenous culture within our shared spaces, reinforcing the importance of heritage and traditional knowledge.
