The Problem

The scale of the upgrade at Clontarf Aboriginal College made this one of the largest school HVAC and refrigeration projects Complete Refrigeration & Air has delivered. Delivering a project of this scale within a tight school holiday window required a large concurrent workforce of HVAC technicians and electricians operating simultaneously across multiple areas of the campus safely and efficiently.

Large-scale concurrent workforce of HVAC technicians and electricians required across the full campus simultaneously

Crane logistics presenting challenges due to limited setup space and the lift requirements for packaged units

Late-stage control strategy adjustments required in the final stages due to the scale of replacing over 200 indoor units

The Solution

This proactive coordination ensured all equipment was installed, tested, and operational prior to students returning.

Replacement of 13 VRF systems across the campus

Installation of 2 new packaged air conditioning units

Replacement of 2 commercial refrigeration systems

Replacement of 3 evaporative cooling systems

Multi-trade scheduling, with HVAC technicians and electricians coordinated concurrently across multiple campus areas

Commissioning team engaged from project commencement – equipment tested and operational as each area was completed

The Outcome

Every system across the Clontarf Aboriginal College campus was installed, commissioned and fully operational before students returned at the start of term. Complete Refrigeration & Air delivered a large-scale, time-critical project on schedule with a multi-trade workforce operating safely across a live boarding school campus.

All equipment was installed on schedule and fully operational prior to students returning to school. Of the 130 units installed, only one indoor unit was identified with a defect before project completion, with rectification works promptly scheduled.

Commissioning was completed smoothly and without issue, with the manufacturer noting the high standard and technical proficiency demonstrated by our team.
