Taqwa School Storage Shed & Footpath Project
At Virk Construction Management, we value creating buildings that bring enduring value and utility to community experiences. This is evident in our recent work with Taqwa School in ACT. The school required a permanent and contemporary storage shed that cater its increasing storage requirements and we were delighted to accept the challenge.
This project included ground work preparation, the construction slab, complete sheds installation and adjoining foot path, and is efficiently done in a period of two months. From design to final inspection, our team ensured precision, safety, and seamless integration with the school’s existing facilities.Project Details
Taqwa School approached us with a clear requirement: A 52m² storage shed designed to blend with the school’s modern architecture. The goal was to create a secure, weather-resistant, and visually cohesive storage facility.
The site preparation began with a graded foundation to ensure even load distribution. We then laid a reinforced concrete slab, visible in the construction images, which provided a strong base for the steel structure. The slab design included a stepped edge to improve drainage and prevent surface water pooling.
The shed was built using galvanized steel framing, ensuring long-term resistance against corrosion and wear. The structure included:
Corrugated steel wall panels for strength and insulation.
A large roller door for vehicle and equipment access.
A side personnel door for easy entry.
Roof-mounted ventilators to promote airflow and reduce condensation.
The color scheme matched the adjacent buildings with grey-white cladding and black trims, preserving the visual harmony of the school campus. LED security lighting and efficient guttering were also installed to enhance usability and safety.
How Virk Construction Management Approached This Project
Our team began with a detailed site survey and design consultation. Since the school remained operational, we planned all work to minimize disruption.
The first step was excavation and formwork setup for the concrete base, followed by the pouring and curing of the slab under close supervision.
Once the slab cured, we began structural assembly using prefabricated steel sections. The use of bolt-together framing allowed for fast, precise installation while maintaining high structural integrity. Each panel was carefully aligned to meet both engineering and aesthetic standards.
We also installed a custom footpath connection leading to the shed, ensuring easy and safe access for staff. Proper compaction and edging were done before pouring the concrete, giving the path a clean and uniform look.
Throughout the project, our team coordinated with Taqwa School’s management to keep progress transparent. Regular safety checks, weather monitoring, and quality inspections ensured every stage met ACT construction standards.
The Final Outcomes
In less than two months, the Taqwa School project went from concept to completion. The final shed structure now stands as a modern, practical addition to the campus — fully functional and built to last.
The shed offers ample storage space, excellent ventilation, and smooth vehicle access. The design integrates naturally with the school’s existing layout, enhancing both appearance and efficiency.
Some of the final touches included:
Reinforced roller door with a powder-coated finish.
Exterior LED floodlights for night-time visibility.
Drainage-friendly concrete base with minimal slope.
Black steel fencing around the perimeter for security.
The completed photos show the shed’s strong alignment with the school’s aesthetic — simple, sharp lines, durable steel cladding, and a practical layout. The project was handed over successfully as per the client's expectations.
