T3 Sydney Domestic Airport Chiller and Cooling Tower Upgrade

Project Description:

Qantas Terminal 3 (T3) at Sydney Domestic Airport is one of the busiest and most significant terminals for domestic flights in Australia. Exclusively used by Qantas and its regional subsidiary, QantasLink, it serves as both a hub for the airline and a key gateway for millions of domestic travellers. Located at Sydney Airport, one of the busiest airports in the Southern Hemisphere, T3 is strategically positioned near the other terminals, facilitating smooth transfers between domestic and international flights.

The terminal is equipped with various amenities, including multiple check-in counters, self-service kiosks, a dedicated Qantas lounge, retail shops, and dining options to enhance the passenger experience. Recent upgrades, such as the chiller and cooling tower system improvements, are part of ongoing efforts to modernise facilities and ensure operational efficiency, especially as passenger volumes continue to rise.

Kerfoot played a key role in these upgrades, particularly in the mechanical and electrical systems, which involved intricate tasks like installing new systems and coordinating with other trades to minimise disruptions to daily flight operations. These renovations aim to keep T3’s infrastructure energy-efficient, sustainable, and capable of meeting future demands while maintaining high security standards and a seamless travel experience for passengers.

Sydney Opera House – Joan Sutherland Theatre

Project Description

In 1973, an extraordinary masterpiece emerged, forever intertwined with Sydney’s identity. The splendid opera house, a creation of Danish architect Jorn Utzon, became synonymous with his name as one of the globe’s preeminent opera house architects after this triumph.

In 1972, Waagner-Biro Stage Systems introduced a revolutionary addition to the Sydney Opera House—a revolving stage with a diameter of 15 meters, accompanied by two stage platforms measuring 3.7 x 11 meters each, along with upper machinery. More than four decades down the line, this machinery has finally reached the end of its operational lifespan. As a solution, a cutting-edge fly system and a new rear stage lift have been introduced, all complemented by the refurbishment of the orchestra platforms, courtesy of Waagner-Biro Stage Systems.
