Relevant experience

Where this work has been done before

The experience below is Hadyn Lugosi's relevant project experience in encapsulation and containment, gained across construction, rail, bridge, water, industrial, port and controlled site environments. It is presented as founder experience rather than as contracts held by SESA.

How to read this page. SESA was established by Hadyn Lugosi and is currently owner operated. The projects described here are environments in which Hadyn has personally delivered encapsulation and containment work, through previous employment or other arrangements, rather than contracts awarded to SESA. That distinction is stated plainly because procurement teams are entitled to an accurate picture.

Founder experience 01

Large scale building encapsulation, Canberra

Relevant experience includes large scale building encapsulation on a school development, intended to protect works from severe weather and reduce lost productivity on an exposed structure.

The enclosure was formed over perimeter scaffold across the full building footprint, sealed and tensioned so that trades inside could continue through conditions that would otherwise have stopped work on an open frame.

What the containment was intended to achieve

Protection of exposed works
Support for the continuation of construction activities
Reduced rain related disruption
Assistance with internal trade continuity

Founder experience 02

Peats Ferry Bridge, New South Wales

Relevant experience includes containment on the Peats Ferry Bridge, the 1945 steel truss bridge carrying the Pacific Highway over the Hawkesbury River between Kangaroo Point and Mooney Mooney Point.

The work involved containment associated with lead based paint, abrasive blasting and coating activities on live bridge infrastructure over a waterway, where separation from the surrounding environment was a central requirement and the bridge remained open to traffic.

This describes containment work Hadyn contributed to. It is not a claim of responsibility for the wider bridge restoration project, and the blasting and coating works were performed by the project's licensed specialist contractors.

Founder experience 03

Surrey Hills Rail Upgrade, Victoria

Relevant experience includes vertical shaft encapsulation and weather protection of exposed rail infrastructure works within a major rail upgrade environment.

Lift shafts were wrapped from ground level to the top of the structure, forming a sealed vertical enclosure that protected the works inside and separated them from the surrounding site.

Founder experience 04

High bay internal work zone, Victoria

Relevant experience includes internal containment within a high bay structural environment, coordinated around active construction work in the surrounding area.

Containment panels were installed to the open upper elevations of the structure, closing the building envelope so that internal work could proceed while the facade remained incomplete.

Founder experience 05

Water treatment facility, Queensland

Relevant experience includes containment and encapsulation works at a water treatment facility in Queensland, engaged to complete works on site.

The work involved temporary protection of plant and pipework within an operating water treatment environment, where the enclosure had to be formed around existing services and access maintained for the facility's own operations.

Coordination with site access and operational requirements

Photographs of this work are not published. The images available show the site before SESA's involvement was complete and do not represent the standard of a SESA installation.

Founder experience 06

Port and coal handling environment, New South Wales

Relevant experience includes shrink wrapping and encapsulation work associated with a coal loading and coal handling environment, carried out around operational bulk material infrastructure.

Industrial plant environments
Working around operational assets

Photographs of this work are not published, in accordance with the site's safety and access requirements.

Founder experience 07

Controlled defence environment, Western Australia

Experience includes containment work within a controlled defence environment in Western Australia. Details of that work remain confidential and are not published.

Work within a sensitive and access controlled site
Compliance with site access and confidentiality requirements
Discreet delivery around operational infrastructure

No photographs or site details are published. Confidentiality and security requirements applying to a project are observed after the work is finished, not just while it is on site.

Wider experience

Environments Hadyn has worked across

RailShafts, upgrades and live rail environments

BridgesCoating removal and containment on structural steel

Major constructionFull building encapsulation and trade continuity

Water and utilitiesContainment within an operating treatment facility

Industrial sitesMaintenance and shutdown containment

Ports and bulk materialsCoal handling and bulk material infrastructure

Defence related facilitiesControlled and access restricted environments

Elevated and high bayWorking at heights and around scaffold

Across these environments the work has consistently involved hazardous work containment, weather sensitive programs and live sites where other trades and operations continue around the enclosure.

A note on what is not shown

Some work does not belong on a website

Three of the projects above carry no photographs. That is deliberate. Defence and port environments impose access, security and confidentiality requirements that do not lapse when the job finishes, and a contractor who publishes that material anyway is telling you exactly how they will treat your site.

The fourth omission is different. On the Queensland water treatment works the available images show a partially completed installation that does not represent SESA's standard, so they are not used to sell the business.

Photographs of any project can be discussed directly where permissions allow.
