About this Project
The scope of work for this project was substantial, involving a chilled-water plant with 4 Chillers and 3 Cooling Towers, variable primary-flow with secondary booster pumps, 29 Air Handling Units and multiple Fan Coil Units and various AC units. Additionally, multiple water and electrical meters were integrated into the system. The hardware spanned across 10 control cabinets and required our in-house retrofit specialists to carry out this upgrade with minimal disruption to tenants.
This was a significant achievement for our Austec NQ General Manager played a pivotal role in securing this project to expand Austec’s presence in the region and diversifying our portfolio to been instrumental to our continued success and further contributing to the North Queensland Region.
