A.G. Coombs Finalist in 2022 ARBS Industry Awards
This year A.G. Coombs with Aurecon are finalists in the ARBS Industry Awards for Project Excellence for their work at the landmark 25 King Street buil...
A.G. Coombs Projects delivered the central refrigeration plant to the new Melbourne Wholesale Fruit Vegetable & Flower Market; the core of the new Melbourne Markets precinct.
In conjunction with Oomiak Industrial Refrigeration, a new Ammonia and Propylene refrigeration system was installed. The installation was one of the largest of its kind in Victoria, and is providing cooling to the market’s tenants and produce alike.
The key challenge was the sheer size and scale of the project, which called for large underground chilled water pipes to be laid during construction. A.G. Coombs maximised the use of its off-site integrated prefabrication workshop to design and assemble 124 skid mounted heat exchanger assemblies and 900mm pipework support structures, which were transported to site for installation. The use of prefabrication methodologies helped to reduce installation time and risks, and improve on-site safety.
