In July 2012 Lietzke Doors successfully completes the supply of door frames for “Single LEAP Phase 2” Project at Edinburgh in South Australia.

The “Single LEAP Phase 2” Project is an Australian Federal Government initiative to upgrade the living accommodation for Australian Defence Force personnel with new accommodation which meets contemporary community standards.  The total project when completed provides for 3,015 units of single member’s accommodation at 14 bases across mainland Australia.

Lietzke Doors worked closely with the builder coordinating up to 3 deliveries a day to the site to supply 964 steel door frames for the 430 member accommodation unit at the Edinburgh site.  The door frames are quite complex with numerous side lights and transom combinations.  The development and production was completed using the latest Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing Software ensuring the highest quality and repeatability.  The door frames were supplied complete with Aluminium glazing channel for the side light and fan light, installed from the factory saving the glazier and builder valuable site time.

The new $16 Million addition to the Port Augusta Prison in South Australia, when completed, will house an extra 80 inmates and become the second largest prison in South Australia.  Work started on the site in January 2011 and is nearing the final stages of completion.

Lietzke Doors worked closely with the builder and the client to design and supply the innovative designs and solutions. The door frames and cell viewing windows were precast into the concrete panels reducing time and site costs and improving the overall strength and integrity of the frame and windows.  This cast in concept offers advantages for the builder with a reduction in onsite trades and ease of coordination.

Lietzke Doors worked closely with the Architects and the builder and supplied and installed the post fixed secure external cell windows and glazing for the bedrooms.  The cell external windows incorporate innovative security features as well as ventilation functionality.

Lietzke Doors completed the package and also supplied the secure doors which included the cell doors and medium and high security general doors in the new extension to the facility.

Lietzke Doors recently won the contract for the supply of 964 steel door frames for a large defence infrastructure project in South Australia.  These frames are quite complex with numerous side lights and transom combinations.  The development and production of the prototype was completed in record time due to the latest Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing Software employed at Lietzke.

In February 2012 Lietzke Doors won the contract for supply of the secure windows, door frames and doors for the new Murray Bridge Police Station in South Australia.

The new Murray Bridge Police Station will accommodate approximately 76 staff and feature a new design, state of the art cells, complete with a new generation door design and should be completed by November 2012.

Lietzke Doors is using Solidworks CAD (Computer Aided Drafting) and solid modelling which represents the latest technology in 3D (three dimensional) design.

Lietzke uses this technology at all stages in our business from sales through to development of concepts and into production.  “The use of this technology has enabled us to work more closely and co-operatively with our clients, improve the designs and reduce the development and lead time in the factory” Craig Manuell, General Manager, Lietzke Doors.

As part of a major overhaul of the Youth Justice System in South Australia, a new 60-bed secure Youth Training Centre (YTC) is being built on a new green field’s site at Goldsborough Road, Cavan.  The new YTC will deliver a new era for youth justice in South Australia where new facilities are raised to the standards of the excellent care and rehabilitation programs that are already being delivered.  The construction phase is progressing well and is expected to be competed in mid 2012.

Lietzke Australia are currently supplying and installing the medium and high security door, barrier and window requirements for the new Cavan Youth Training Centre.  The project involves 60 cell doors, 9 high security barrier doors, 40 medium security doors and 60 external and internal windows.

In November 2011 Lietzke Doors was awarded the contract to design, supply and install all the windows, doors and door frames for the Cobham Juvenile Justice Centre Stage 3 Redevelopment. This challenging project includes a very wide range of products and includes all the high, medium and low security needs for windows, frames, doors and various access hatches.

“The project offers an excellent opportunity to re-visit the organizational framework of the existing centre originally constructed in the 1970’s. Modernise its facilities to meet current demands, re connect it to the landscape and re think how a detention centre can deliver appropriate services to the community. The redevelopment of the existing 85 Bed centre will include; an additional 54 beds, new school and clinic, staff office/support facilities, expanded recreational facilities around a series  of consolidated courtyards and car parking for staff and emergency services.” NSW Government, Public Works, Government Architects Office
