Temperzone PAC Replacement and New Control Panel We started by planning the changeover around live equipment. You cannot just pull gear out and hope for the best in an exchange. We supplied and installed new Temperzone PAC units sized for the room and load, then built a...

This one was on a very tight time schedule, after a water leak inside the building knocked out 2 x MSSB’s serving the main plant room. MECS where engaged to build (Design & Manufacturer) the new MSSB’s, install them onsite and recommission the controls along...

Clearing the Room  Asbestos isn’t something you muck around with. We called in PCB Contractors and Morgan Environmental, crews we’ve worked with before and trust. They came in, tested everything, sealed it up, and carefully stripped the sheeting out. Once they gave us the all-clear, we...

Decommissioning and Controls Upgrade  The project began with safe isolation and strip-out of the old plant and control gear. The tired infrastructure was removed, making way for the new MSSB and controls system that would provide reliable operation for the upgraded chiller and pump arrangement.    Installation and...

Design and Separation  To ensure compliance, MECS designed the layout so that all electrical control cabinets were installed in a dedicated service room. This separation provided a clear barrier between live electrical equipment and the compressor space, minimising the risk of ignition from flammable vapours.    Fire Sealing...

Execution Strategy    Installation and Wiring  Positioned the switchboard within a confined plant room, coordinating lift access and clearances.  Completed all terminations for pumps, fans, and control circuits, integrating with existing site infrastructure.  Applied stainless‑steel fabrication and corrosion‑resistant fittings to suit the coastal environment.    Testing and Commissioning  Performed insulation, continuity, and functional...

Why Control Systems Matter in a Hospital Kitchen  Blast chillers are the unsung guardians of food safety in large‑scale healthcare catering. Every cooked tray must transition from cooking temperature to a consistently safe holding temperature within strict time limits prescribed by HACCP guidelines.   A reliable controller oversees...

Execution Strategy:   Pre-Construction & Planning  Collaborated with builders and refrigeration contractors to coordinate timing, site access and infrastructure requirements.  Scoped electrical load demands for expanded display cases and back-of-house chillers.  Planned staged shutdowns to avoid disruption to surrounding tenancies and minimise downtime.  Fitout and Installation  Supplied and installed submains, final circuits...

Why the Control Panel Matters  A car‑park controller might not look impressive, but it’s the central nervous system for the entire sub‑grade asset. At Westralia Square it synchronises license‑plate readers, barrier arms, pay‑stations, induction loops and carbon‑monoxide sensors tied to the ventilation fans overhead.   When that brain...
