The project consisted of the replacement of redundant mechanical plant to accommodate the increasing equipment heat load due to the expanding Telstra network, preparations for NBN and to provide the exchange with a level of redundancy to safe guard against plant or equipment failure.

Two (2) new 70kW packaged units and associated ductwork, electrics and controls.
Jako Industries was engaged on this project as the head contractor.
This arrangement brought about numerous challenges as the exchange location is located amongst residential housing. Noisy works, parking, site security and logistics all added complexity to an already sensitive building.
The Cannington telephone exchange is one of the larger exchanges in the Perth metro area and as such required works to be undertaken in a very delicate and unobtrusive manner. It is imperative that dust and moisture be kept to an absolute minimum once inside the exchange for protection of the telecommunications infrastructure.
All ductwork including plant was required to be external to the building to maximize equipment space within the building. The arrangement of air delivery into the building was via hot and cold isles to effectively move cool air across the equipment racks.
Jako Industries has had a long association with Telstra and has successfully completed many exchanges and telco hubs over the past 40 years.
The project comprised of the full replacement of Mechanical Services plant and equipment including new mechanical services switchboards whilst maintaining minimal store disruptions. Project required Jako to replace a redundant built up air handling unit with two (2) new packaged units and supplementary in-ceiling and ceiling cassette Daikin units. Ductwork
The project involved the construction of a five-storey Mental Health Clinic to provide comprehensive and multidisciplinary state-of-the-art Mental Health care in Perth’s south for both overnight and day patients.
The project entailed construction of a new high performance centre for the West Australian Institute of Sport (WAIS). The state of the art facility would provide WAIS with the technology and facilities to train high performance athletes to the levels required for competition on an international stage.
