CTY Air Conditioning is delivering a major Central Thermal Plant Upgrade at Crowne Plaza Melbourne, working within one of the city’s most tightly constrained project environments.
Engaged by Salter Brothers, CTY has undertaken the thermal plant analysis, equipment selection, design development and delivery of a new cooling plant designed to meet the hotel’s current requirements while creating valuable rooftop space for its future transformation into InterContinental Melbourne.
With approximately 2 MW of new cooling capacity across three Daikin 667 kW air-cooled chillers, the project combines thermal engineering, complex spatial coordination and heavy-lift logistics, all while the hotel remains operational.
A major project, with plenty of moving parts.
