Puckapunyal is an Australian Army base in north central Victoria. The base was established in 1939 during World War II and for many years was the largest Army Camp in Australia. Today Puckapunyal houses the Australian Army's Combined Arms Training Centre, Land Warfare Development Centre, School of Armour, School of Artillery and Combat Command Wing. Additionally the Army School of Transport maintains its driver training wings and the 'Bushmaster Infantry Mobility Vehicle' driver training programme. In August 2010 Ace Infrastructure completed an upgrade of the 1.1km long tank road.
Key features of the project were:
- 200mm thick heavy duty steel fibre reinforced concrete
- 150mm thick lean mix
- 1m thick engineered fill
- Traffic management in an operational Army facility
- Wildlife management - keeping kangaroos off the wet concrete!
