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 to the shop floor was entirely replaced with a tight staging plan being the most critical aspect of the project.

The project was undertaken in stages with the store being open to patrons the entire duration. With the store being part of a larger shopping centre, this brought on additional challenges from a logistic and operational perspective.
90% of the works were undertaken afterhours to avoid shop floor disruptions. Being able to maintain desired conditions within the store during the summer months provided a challenge. Construction of a new Mechanical Services switchboard in situ was one of them to avoid loss of power on vital services.
