QUT Medical Engineering Research Facility
The Queensland University of Technology’s Medical Engineering Research Facility (QUT MERF) is designed to meet Australia’s emerging needs in orthopaedic and artificial organ research, providing a comprehensive suite of research and training facilities at the one location.
A.G. Coombs Projects was tasked with ensuring the facility’s critical PC2 laboratory achieved AQIS certification.
The resulting mechanical services upgrade saw new refrigeration, compressed air and exhaust plant and equipment installed in the PC2 laboratory and in the surrounding holding bays. One of the bays houses a self-contained freezer room, which demands specific temperature control at all times.
The key challenge was to maintain the operational PC2 lab whilst ensuring compliance with AQIS.
