EL KANAH RESORT PROJECT

Scope of Work

El Kanah Marysville is a large resort, offering a wide range of accommodation and services in Marysville, approximately 1hr 45mins drive North East of Melbourne.

 

AES were engaged to complete the mechanical services on the project including all Heating, Cooling and Ventilation (HVAC) works.

There are 23 accommodation rooms and larger areas including dining hall, 2 guest lounges, conference room, games room and kitchen.

When the project was initially quoted, it had been designed with a single stand-alone wall mounted split system to service each accommodation room and ducted units for the larger areas. Through discussions with our client we established they were not happy with the idea of an air conditioning outdoor unit on each balcony. Not only would this take away from the aesthetics of the building, it would also significantly reduce the amount of space guests could enjoy on the balconies.

Our Solution

After hearing our client’s concerns, AES suggested an alternative proposal; delete all split systems and replace with 2 Mitsubishi Electric VRF City Multi systems. This system would provide many advantages.

 

  • Capacity to run all accommodation rooms from only 2 outdoor units

  • Longer pipe runs from indoor units meaning the outdoor units could be located behind the building, out of sight.

  • Swipe card facility suited for accommodation rooms (Guests insert their swipe card on entry to the room which then provides power for the A/C unit to turn on). This also prevents unnecessary power usage from guests leaving airconditioning on when they had left the room.

Despite such significant changes to the original scope of works, the project was handed over on time and within budget.
