Ashburner Francis was chosen to design new mechanical and electrical equipment for a 15-20yr operational life to the existing Karratha Airport Control Tower.
A new air conditioning plant incorporating Energy Efficiency features such as inverter technology, all in compliance and above the BCA Section 5, was adopted.
Local saline conditions required Ashburner Francis to obtain ample technical information to attain an estimate on the costings for a special coating on the Air Conditioning Plant to extend the life of the equipment. Local conditions such as humidity, cyclonic condition and saline levels were all factored into our design.
When designing the new switchboards, Ashburner Francis allowed for sufficient spare capacity for any possible future expansions to the tower.
