Ulan Village Green and TOBCO's Comprehensive Involvement
Ulan Village Green was conceived as a haven for remote workers, providing temporary accommodation for the exhausted mine workers at one of the 6 local mines. Avoiding the need to drive all the way back into town and solving an OH&S problem that had long existed. TOBCO along with the Ulan owners were able to quickly and efficiently build the village from a bare block of dirt to what is now a 200 person self contained facility. TOBCO’s role in this project was multifaceted, covering every stage of development and construction.
1. Planning and Design:
TOBCO’s team collaborated with the building designers and stakeholders to design a village that balances comfort, practicality, and sustainability. Detailed planning ensured that all facilities would meet the highest standards of quality and BCA requirements.
2. Civil Infrastructure Development:
Sewage Treatment Plant: A state-of-the-art sewage treatment plant was installed and commissioned to handle the waste management needs of the village. This included a large irrigation area that included above-ground and subterranean irrigation as well as settlement ponds and landscaping.
Footpaths and Car Parking: A large area of stabilised pavements including lime stabilisation, concrete pavements and spray sealed sections comprised the car and bus parking areas. Comprehensive footpaths were laid throughout the site, enhancing accessibility and convenience for residents.
Drainage: Kerb and guttering, subsoils and stormwater drainage was installed as well as rooftop collection of grey water for recycling and use throughout the village for toilets.
3. Construction of Accommodation and Facilities:
Private Rooms: TOBCO constructed 200 private rooms, each featuring an ensuite bathroom. These rooms are designed to offer privacy and comfort, catering to the specific needs of remote workers. Each building had awnings, walkways and stair and disabled access.
Recreational and Common Areas: The village includes a common room, a recreation room, and a well-equipped gym and fitness centre, fostering a sense of community and promoting wellness.
Kitchen and Dining Facilities: A fully operational 24-hour kitchen provides three nutritious meals a day, ensuring that residents are well-fed at all times.
4. Implementation of Essential Services:
Laundry Facilities: Convenient laundry services are available on-site, adding to the self-sufficiency of the village.
