ConsultJR in collaboration with the project’s design partners DMA Engineers were engaged by Besix Watpac to undertake the detailed design of the Townsville University Hospital Expansion Project (TUHE). The expansion project consisted of the design and construction of a new 400 bed Rehabilitation Building and Central Energy Facility (CEF). DMA Engineers being specialists in building service engineering approach ConsultJR to provide their HV design expertise to fulfil the gap in their capabilities and work collaboratively to complete the project.
Any design decisions made by CJR during the project were required to be made in accordance with Queensland Health’s Capital Infrastructure Requirements which forms the technical framework for all Queensland Health sites. Additionally, CJR worked collaboratively with the Townsville Hospital’s Building Management team to ensure the design would be satisfactory to the end user.
Scope of Works included:
Detailed design and specification of new HV Main Switchboard, RMUs and HV substations which included connection to transformers, HV Chillers and HV generators.
Design of HV equipment PLC and control system panels.
Modification to the site’s reticulation system to integrate the new HV equipment into the existing site network.
Design of the HV switchrooms and substations and the equipment installed within these rooms using Revit.
Liaising with Ergon to facilitate an update to TUH’s existing connection agreement and confirm the effects of the site’s HV generation assets on the Ergon network.
