Case Study
The Parramatta Eels Centre of Excellence, located in Kellyville, is a new state-of-the-art facility designed to be the largest rugby league facility in Australia. It will house elite training facilities for the NRL and NRLW teams, as well as the Eels Academy. The facility will also include a community centre with a 1,500-seat grandstand and community gym, fostering a “one-club” environment for all levels of the club. The project involves the design and implementation of sophisticated mechanical services for Buildings A and B. These services encompass an extensive range of HVAC systems designed to provide optimal environmental conditions, improve energy efficiency, and align with sustainable building practices. The scope includes the installation of advanced ventilation systems, variable refrigerant flow (VRV) air conditioning units, direct expansion air-cooled systems, and heat recovery systems to maximize energy utilisation and indoor air quality
