Alpine Refrigeration was engaged by Newlands Commercial Construction Pty Ltd to provide specialist installation works for mechanical air conditioning and ventilation services to the refurbishment of R Block at the University of Southern Queensland. Alpine was contracted to supply, deliver, install, test, commission and service the mechanical systems and associated works at the facility.
Very limited spaces were available for the installation of the mechanical
equipment on this project. Installation was undertaken successfully through the skills and expertise of the Alpine team, coupled with close liaising and effective communication with the builder.
The engineering design intent was to maintain controlled conditions throughout all areas of the building via chilled and heated water air conditioning systems. The design installed by Alpine consisted predominantly of Oceania chilled water equipment which distributed conditioned air to all rooms and open learning areas. Outside air was distributed throughout, via the air conditioning ducted systems. All systems are controlled by the USQ BMS system which was installed
by Schneider Electric.

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.
