Project Snapshot
CCC Engineering was engaged to deliver the mechanical services design for AiMix Chemicals, a chemical manufacturing and distribution facility in St Marys, Western Sydney. The project required careful consideration of ventilation requirements specific to chemical storage and manufacturing environments, including compliance with hazardous area classifications and relevant Australian Standards.
The design addressed the unique demands of a manufacturing environment where occupant safety, process ventilation, and regulatory compliance are critical. The outcome was a practical, code-compliant mechanical design tailored to the operational requirements of a chemical manufacturing facility.
