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.

The installation consists of chillers, boilers and fan coil units providing a chilled and heating water air conditioning system for offices, pool area and the swimming pool plant room. Training zones were conditioned through use of evaporative systems with exhaust serving the numerous change rooms, and pool areas across the facility.
The pool area is a highly corrosive environment, particular consideration was made to ensure that all ductwork, fittings and hangers were non-ferrous (i.e. stainless steel, PVC or fabric) in order to avoid corrosion.
The air conditioning system comprised of 51 fan coil units, of these, 36 units serving the upper floor had to be provided with dedicated motorized fresh air dampers to allow fully separate zoning of each fan coil unit in order to minimize unnecessary heat gain to the spaces when the respective fan coil units were not operating.
The facility has a specialized altitude chamber in which all the ductwork and fan coil units serving the chamber had to be fully sealed and air tight in order to prevent leakage when the rooms were pressurized with carbon dioxide gas to simulate high altitude conditions.
The rooftop plant deck created a number of logistical challenges in enabling all mechanical plant, pipework and ducting to not only fit in the available space but to maintain serviceability and access. This was successfully achieved through careful planning, coordination and design throughout the entire project.
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 involved the construction new Pathology laboratory and head office for Western Diagnostic Pathology. The project was carried out in two parts with the base build portion incorporating all main plant and equipment and fitout incorporating the specific systems serving the specific operational requirements.
