Date
Overview/brief
Ord River District Co-Operative Ltd, a long-established farmers’ cooperative based in Kununurra, required a purpose-built commodity shed to support their growing operations across Northern Australia. Servicing a vast region spanning the Kimberley, Pilbara, and parts of the Northern Territory, Ord Co needed a highly functional, durable, and flexible facility to store and manage bulk farming inputs such as fertiliser, seed, and chemicals. The result is a 72m x 25m x 9m tall commodity shed, engineered and constructed by AUSPAN in collaboration with Red Rust Construction — delivering a fit-for-purpose structure that enhances operational efficiency and storage capacity.

Challenges

Purpose-Built Storage for Expanding Regional Operations

Operating across such a wide geographic area, Ordco required a storage solution that could withstand regional conditions while providing flexibility for changing inventory demands.
The facility needed to:

  • Support heavy loads for bulk commodities like urea and fertilisers.

  • Allow large-scale access points for efficient loading and unloading.

  • Remain durable under strong winds common to the Kimberley region.

  • Integrate seamlessly with existing sheds to maximise workflow and product movement.

The project also needed to maintain cost-effectiveness and meet engineering standards suitable for long-term agricultural use.

Solution

Smart Design and Seamless Collaboration

AUSPAN designed and engineered a 72m x 25m x 9m shed with a 150mm concrete floor slab and 3.6m x 6m tilt-up concrete panels for durability. The structure features five bottom-mounted double-track sliding doors — three at 6m x 8m and two at 5m x 8m — providing wide, reliable access even in high wind conditions.

To improve efficiency and reduce obstructions, an 18m clear-view girder truss was incorporated to eliminate additional columns at key access points. This thoughtful engineering allowed for greater internal flexibility and smoother product movement.

Throughout the process, AUSPAN provided fast technical responses, clear specifications, and seamless coordination with Red Rust Construction. This team approach ensured the build stayed on schedule and delivered an exceptional outcome that met Ord Co’s operational goals.

Working with AUSPAN has been a seamless experience from start to finish. Their technical support, quick communication, and attention to detail made the entire process effortless. The build quality is exceptional, and the partnership between AUSPAN and Red Rust Construction worked brilliantly. This new shed gives us flexibility we’ve never had before — it’s a real game changer for how we manage and store our products.
