Role of A.G. Coombs A.G. Coombs was engaged as the principal contractor for the chiller replacement of the Pharmacy Australia Centre of Excellence at The University of Queensland (UQ).
Challenges
Approach & Methodology
As the principal contractor, A.G. Coombs was responsible for all aspects of the project, including civil, structural and
remedial works. A specialised crane pad was required to facilitate the positioning of a 500 tonne crane, ensuring the smooth transition of multiple chillers to the rooftop plant area.
Careful planning was necessary to guarantee that the pharmaceutical facility maintained critical cooling throughout the project’s duration. A.G. Coombs provided an alternative staged approach after careful consideration, which allowed for the facility to continue operating.
A.G. Coombs and our client worked closely together to devise a solution that involved utilising two of the new chillers in a temporary location.
This approach enabled the removal of the existing equipment, followed by the installation and commissioning of the new chillers in their final location.
