Challenge 1: Fabricating and Installing 10,000m² of Ducting
Handling such a large volume of ducting required careful planning to avoid delays and ensure quality.
Solution:
We pre-fabricated ducting components in our workshop using automated machinery, ensuring precision and consistency. On-site installation was executed in phases to minimize disruptions and maintain progress.
Challenge 2: Ensuring Consistent Airflow Across Large Spaces
Achieving uniform airflow in expansive logistics blocks posed significant challenges due to varying thermal loads and structural layouts.
Solution:
Our team conducted CFD simulations to design duct layouts that ensured balanced airflow distribution. Adjustable dampers were installed to fine-tune airflow during commissioning.
Challenge 3: Meeting Tight Deadlines
Completing the project within three months required efficient resource allocation and execution.
Solution:
We implemented extended shifts and deployed additional manpower where necessary. Daily progress reviews ensured that tasks were completed on schedule without compromising quality.
Challenge 4: Verifying System Performance via TAB
Conducting TAB for a large-scale HVAC system required rigorous testing and documentation to ensure compliance with design specifications.
Solution:
We employed certified TAB technicians equipped with advanced tools to measure airflow rates, temperature differentials, and system balance. Test results were documented meticulously and cross-verified for accuracy.
