Alpine Refrigeration was engaged by Northbuild Construction to provide specialist installation works for mechanical air conditioning and ventilation services to the new Police Station in Highfields, Qld. The project called for Alpine’s technical expertise to supply, install, test, commission and maintain all mechanical services systems as documented.
The Highfields Police Station required close liaising with the Builder to enable installation of the required mechanical equipment in very limited spaces.
- The engineering design intent was to maintain controlled, comfort conditions throughout all areas of the building with special requirements for detainees such as security grilles, air purification and motorised temperature control where required.
- The design installed by the Alpine Team was predominantly Mitsubishi Electric standalone air conditioning systems, which distributed conditioned air to all rooms and offices within the Police Station.
- Outside air was supplied by an energy recovery ventilator which distributed pre-conditioned outside air via the ducted air conditioning systems. All systems are controlled by wall mounted controllers giving each system independent control.
- Several exhaust systems were installed throughout the Police Station to service all amenities and detainee rooms as per Australian Standards.

Alpine Refrigeration was engaged by Northbuild Construction Toowoomba to provide specialist chilled water systems, mechanical air conditioning and ventilation services to a facility of a very specific nature. The project called for Alpine’s flexible approach to heritage listed building refurbishments of a complex and critical nature. By working closely with Northbuild, the outcome was an energy efficient, state of the art air conditioning system that complimented the architectural features of such a historical building. The building structure and cavities posed significant challenges for the Alpine ductwork team along with enabling chilled water piping system, but intense internal design and installation skills provided the results as needed.
