Construction World December 2021

The HVAC systems were a modular design, so all mechanical services could be in place and commissioned independently, allowing each cluster to be fully functional on its own. Using self-contained package type units, these could be zoned and sized to provide full conditioned fresh air to contaminated areas within the clusters. The manufacture and assembly of the HVAC systems was easy to accommodate and install on site, minimising effort and risk of delay. The project management approach adopted a discipl ined agile approach since the more conventional waterfall approach would not have met the stringent and highly compressed timel ine. Daily sessions with key stakeholder representatives were used to collectively identify and mitigate risks while managing and monitoring integration and del ivery. Constant consultations and feedback mechanisms were in place with the cl ient throughout the project duration. This enabled consistent expectation management translating into cl ient satisfaction. 
