History
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]
