Projects delivered under time and on budget
Meeting extreme needs of government, local and global clients
Towards the end of 2017 GBL was awarded a contract to complete the works for the first
and second Commonwealth of Australia Pacific Patrol Boat project with Austal Australia.
This vessel, the first of it’s kind, to be fabricated and surface treated within Australia.
Throughout the project, GBL worked alongside Boat Spray, Austal and other contractors
in a purpose built facility in Hope Valley Western Australia. The project was completed
ahead of time and under budget.
Since 1998 GBL has been involved in the initial blasting and painting applications and
refurbishment of the Commonwealth of Australia Defense Vessels. The abrasive blasting
of the complete vessels and painting of the internal and external of the entire vessel were
placed in the hands of our management and workforce.
GBL continues to complete other numerous blasting and painting projects with Austal
Australia based on our successful working relationship since 1998.
