History
[edit]Construction of Barimunya Airport took place in 2003, led by McMahon Services. Boundaries WA was contracted for the installation of five kilometres of perimeter fencing. Due to the rocky environment, a drill rig was used to excavate post holes. Following the project, the company developed new systems to handle similar conditions for future projects.[3]
