CASE STUDIES


BENDIGO HOSPITAL REDEVELOPMENT

A new hospital to serve Central Victoria for the next 25 years.

Bentrol were engaged in all three stages of the project. Early works involved mechanical electrical and Sphere Systems BMS modifications for the new Energy Centre. Redundant building BMS controls were de-commissioned to make way for the new hospitals footprint.
For the main works, Bentrol were engaged by Siemens for the installation of the Apogee BMS, Gallagher Access Control and CCTV. Bentrol developed a custom interface between the existnig Sphere BMS and access control systems to the new systems.
For the final stage, Bentrol were engaged for the de-commissioning of redundant BMS and access control. Bentrol installed the BMS, mechanical-electrical and access controls for the new conference centre and car park/helipad.

HORSHAM QUARANTINE GLASSHOUSE

Quarantine Glasshouse to serve operational requirements at Agriculture Victoria, Horsham site.

The Horsham Quarantine Glasshouse was fully controlled by Honeywell WEB 8000 controllers. The glasshouse has five compartments each with independant temperature and UV control. The control system automatically modulates the shading, motorised louvres, HVAC and UV lighting to maintain environmental conditions for the experiments. Data is collected from internal and external sensors for reporting results. Bentrol designed and commissioned the BMS and mechanical switchboard - working with local contractors for the installation.

FOSTERVILLE GOLD MINE

The gold standard in switchboards.

In the middle of 2019 Bentrol was engaged by a large EPCM company to manufacture two large motor control centres for Fosterville Gold Mine. One of these MCCs was housed inside a purpose built, fire rated 40ft containerised switchroom (shown below). Both switchboards were built using the CUBIC modular system and Terasaki switchgear with full earth leakage protection.

MAKABINGUI GOLD OPERATION

Our first major switchboard for export to West Africa.

Our largest (amp rating) switchboard to date was for the Makabingui Gold Mine in West Africa. Coming in at 6000A (6x100x10 copper busbar per phase) and being fed by three synchronised 1.5MVA CAT Generators, this switchboard was no small undertaking. Although this switchboard was being exported, the customer still required everything to be up to the AS/NZS 61439 standard.

461 BOURKE STREET CONTROLS

Control strategy optimisation and infrastructure upgrades providing energy savings.

Bentrol was engaged to investigate the existing BMS controls and find energy savings. We set up new energy reporting to give a baseline for the works and providing the customer with no annual cost for the system. The local network was replaced to remove daisy chain configuration and improve network reliability. Bentrol fully re-programmed the BMS control strategy which lead to a 30% energy saving.
