This weekend, we installed the latest AIRSTAGE chiller from Fujitsu General Australia at 14 Martin Place for Abacus Group. The skill shown by the riggers from SP Rigging and the Borger Cranes operator made the whole process look effortless. The operation required a team of riggers to remove the external louvre to the level 9 plant room and carefully manoeuvre the multi-ton unit into a narrow opening between high-rise buildings. Moving it into the plant room was like threading a needle. Safety was our top priority, so we meticulously planned every step and followed stringent safety precautions for this high-risk operation. Even with Sydney’s unpredictable weather, we were blessed with clear skies during the four-hour window for the crane lift. Overall, we’re really proud of how everyone came together to complete this complex installation with such precision and teamwork. Great work Navid Hamidi and Jerry Timor.

Training is underway on the Fujitsu AIRSTAGE TurboCor chillers for Precise Air technicians in QLD and NSW. The first sessions were conducted by the Italian Factory chiller expert Roberto Tondo at The Oasis Broadbeach where a 600kw and 1600kw chiller are being installed. Replacing the original chillers that were reaching end of life, the new AIRSTAGE chillers use Danfoss TurboCor compressors and the HFO refrigerant R513a that has a Global Warming Potential of 573, which achieves a reduction of 56% compared to commonly used refrigerant R134a. Thank you to Fujitsu’s Kyle Rafter and Dave Smith, and to Paul Finney and the team at The Oasis Broadbeach for hosting the training sessions on site.  

Precise Air Group’s leadership team applied their engineering skills to building prosthetic hands for people in developing countries who have lost limbs due to accidents or landmines. It took the teams under an hour to assemble these life-changing prosthetics from over 30 pieces of plastic and metal for the Helping Hands charity. Worldwide, over 300,000 people have lost limbs to landmines, 20% of these are children. The cost of traditional prosthetics in developing countries is around $3,000, so any contribution that our community can make through this ‘hands’ is welcomed. Helping Hands is just 5,000 prosthetics away from their goal to provide 30,000 hands by 2030. We were all very proud that we could make a profound difference in the lives of those halfway around the world and contribute to this goal. Thank you to the team at Bechallenged for providing us with the opportunity to contribute to such a meaningful cause. This project serves as a reminder of the difference that engineering can have on society, and we’re proud to be part of a community that strives to use our skills to help achieve these great results.
