Once the fasteners are in place, the bulkhead components are assembled and fixed into their designated positions in alignment with the specified design and requirements. This phase demands attention to detail, precision, and adherence to safety protocols to ensure the structural integrity and alignment of the bulkhead components.

4. Installation of Pre-Manufactured Bulkheads:

Simultaneously, pre-manufactured bulkhead components are installed in conjunction with the construction of bulkhead components. This involves setting out the pre-manufactured bulkhead sections according to the design plans and specifications, using fasteners as specified by the frame manufacturer to secure them in position, and ensuring they are fixed according to the specified design and requirements. This phase requires a seamless integration of the pre-manufactured elements into the overall bulkhead structure, aligning them precisely with the reference points established earlier. It's a critical aspect of the project that ensures a comprehensive and well-rounded approach to bulkhead construction.

5. Clean-Up:

The project's final phase entails thorough clean-up procedures, with a paramount focus on adhering to all legislative and workplace requirements for safety, waste disposal, and materials handling. This includes properly disposing of waste generated during the construction and installation phases. It also encompasses the meticulous checking, maintenance, and secure storage of all tools and equipment used throughout the project, with any faults or issues reported for prompt resolution. This phase signifies the project's conclusion, ensuring that the work site is left in a safe and environmentally responsible state while preserving the longevity of tools and equipment.

Students are required to carry out the work using the appropriate tools and equipment, ensuring they are well-maintained and utilised correctly. Laws, regulations, and industry standards, including the National Construction Code (NCC) and Australian Standards, should be followed.
