MECS were engaged by a client to carry out a rapid chiller upgrade at a high-rise residential property. The project involved decommissioning the existing plant, removing outdated controls, installing a new Mechanical Services Switchboard (MSSB), and connecting the new chiller and pumps. The works were...

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...

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...

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...

MECS Electrical & Controls supplied and commissioned an ABB control system for the PPAC (Pool Packaged Air Conditioning) unit at Brabham Primary School’s new indoor pool. The system was designed to provide precise climate management, ensuring optimal air quality and temperature control. The installation included...

MECS Electrical & Controls was contracted to supply and install a new distribution switchboard for the existing gymnasium at Morley Senior High School. The project encompassed comprehensive electrical wiring for the new gym, including communications, security systems, and the installation of underground services to connect...
