Project At A Glance
Client: St Andrew's Hospital
Address: St Andrew's Hospital,
280 North Street, Toowoomba
Sector: Medical Facility
Contract Value: $1.1 million
Contract Length: 10 weeks
Alpine Refrigeration was engaged directly by St Andrew's Hospital engineering department to provide a specialised mechanical air conditioning and ventilation design and construct project
to their existing theatres 1, 2, 3, 4, 7 and surrounding zones.
- The outcome was an energy efficient, fully compliant theatre upgrade to the most stringent medical and building codes of practice and compliance.
- The project called for the staged removal of existing plant, equipment, internal structures and fittings to provide an empty shell and then the subsequent installation of all new services to create state of the art, fully compliant medical operating theatres and support infrastructure.
- Mechanical equipment included a Gree modular chiller designed and installed to provide both specific comfort, acoustic and environmental conditions.
- A specific requirement of the system was to provide further expansion capability as the need arose.
- The design incorporated multiple Air Change roof mounted fan coil units, electric reheat zone control and a sophisticated, Alpine designed controls system providing ultimate internal conditions with user friendly interface.
- The critical time frames for all trades involved in this project made co-ordination and team work imperative.
- The result was delivery of a high standard project, which met the client's expectations and time frame requirements.

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.
