Our Recent Project: 50 Upper Heidelberg Road, Ivanhoe
In early 2025, BAKER DIAS was engaged by Body Corporate Services to complete a critical mechanical switchboard upgrade at 50 Upper Heidelberg Road, Ivanhoe. The project involved replacing and commissioning rooftop and carpark exhaust fan systems to enhance air quality management across key areas of the building.
Scope of Work and Delivery
The project included:
-
Designing and manufacturing a new mechanical switchboard.
-
Safe decommissioning and removal of the existing system.
-
Installation of a new switchboard integrated with Variable Speed Drives (VSDs).
-
Recalibration of carpark motion sensors.
-
Functional commissioning in accordance with the building’s operation manual.
Our team ensured the system was programmed to operate at high speed during peak traffic periods (7–9am and 4–6pm), with lower-speed, sensor-triggered operation during off-peak hours. Toilet exhaust and fresh air fans were scheduled for Monday to Friday use between 8am and 6pm.
Expert Delivery on Time and Within Budget
This mechanical switchboard upgrade was delivered within the agreed timeframe and budget. BAKER DIAS’s meticulous planning, quality components, and clear communication ensured minimal disruption to building operations. All four fans were tested and commissioned successfully. While the motion sensors required further investigation, our team flagged the issue promptly and made professional recommendations for resolution.
