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...
Execution Strategy: Installation & Integration Installed 4 MCCs fitted with Allen Bradley ControlLogix processors and safety I/O. Commissioned 600 kW Danfoss VSDs to modulate compressor speed and ABB VSDs on evaporator fans and pumps. Implemented power‑monitoring relays and soft‑starters to AS/NZS 3000 standards. Testing & Optimisation Performed full functional testing of interlocks, E‑stop circuits,...
Execution Strategy: Design, Fabrication and Logistics Developed 3‑D models and isometrics to ensure perfect alignment once re‑assembled. Completed factory‑acceptance testing (FAT) for instrumentation loops, MCC wiring and PLC I/O. Disassembled the skid package into six road‑freight modules under Main Roads WA limits. Coordinated heavy haulage and permits for the multi‑day...
