Project Snapshot
CCC Engineering delivered a fully coordinated mechanical design for the Icy Spicy tenancy at Eastern Creek Quarter. The project involved the integration of a commercial kitchen exhaust and general ventilation system within an existing shopping centre base build environment. The tenancy incorporates a cookline with griddle and cooktop equipment beneath a modular recirculating hood system (HB1800-750), together with food preparation benches, display counters, and customer interface zones. The mechanical design required careful coordination with existing base building exhaust infrastructure, structural beams, and service corridors. The engineering objective was to provide compliant kitchen exhaust and general ventilation in accordance with NCC 2022 and AS 1668, while ensuring fire integration, grease management, serviceability, and minimal disruption to base building systems. The scope included detailed ductwork design, sealing specifications, access provisions, fire mode coordination, and acoustic considerations.
Our Role
- CCC Engineering delivered a single-stage detailed design including:
- Review of architectural and structural documentation
- Kitchen exhaust ventilation calculations in accordance with AS 1668.2–2012
- Design certification to NCC 2022 Clause F6D12 and Section J6
- Detailed ductwork sizing, grille selection, and fan specification
- Penetration and support detailing
- Power and control coordination requirements
- Issued for Tender detailed layouts and equipment schedules
- Design statement and compliance documentation
Challenges & Solutions
