Project Snapshot
Castle Pines is a premium retirement community in Norwest, featuring extensive clubhouse amenities including a heated therapy pool. When the existing air handling unit (AHU) failed, the pool area experienced condensation and comfort issues that rendered it unusable. CCC Engineering was engaged to provide independent design advice and deliver a replacement mechanical system that restored performance, improved efficiency, and ensured compliance with NCC 2022 and AS/NZS standards.
Our Role
- Site inspection and detailed assessment of the existing mechanical system
- Concept design with review of AHU replacement options (Daikin, Air Change, Armcor, etc.)
- Heat load calculations and system selection
- Tender documentation including drawings, equipment schedules, and scope of works
- NCC and AS 1668 design certification
- Tender support and review of contractor submissions
Challenges & Solutions
Challenge
Excessive humidity and condensation from failed AHU
Solution
Introduced a high-efficiency pool dehumidification system with integrated heat recovery
Challenge
Existing condenser plantroom space
Solution
Custom system layout and ductwork design optimised for existing structure
Challenge
Need for compliant design within operational facility
Solution
Delivered staged documentation allowing minimal disruption to residents
Results
- Reinstated comfortable and safe pool environment
- Fully compliant with NCC 2022, AS 1668.1–2015, AS 1668.2–2012
- Delivered clear, buildable documentation for competitive tendering
- Achieved on-time design completion within three weeks
- Enhanced air quality and reduced maintenance needs for facility managers
