Project Details
Working alongside retail building specialists Mainbrace Constructions, Benmax recently completed the mechanical services for a $9 million expansion and upgrade project at Hoyts Cinema Erina Fair.
Located within the popular Erina Fair Shopping Centre, the project included the construction of two new movie theatres at the complex as well as a much-needed upgrade of the HVAC system serving the foyer, administration areas, amenities and bio box. The central plant was brought up to standard with a new chiller, boiler, cooling tower and associated works, as well as the Building Management and Control System (BMCS) to accommodate the system and equipment improvements made at the site.
One interesting feature of this project is that all mechanical services equipment items, including the ductwork, utilise vibration isolation mounts to limit vibration transmission across the complex.
The Benmax team successfully completed the project in mid-2021.
This is the second project Benmax has delivered at the Erina Fair Shopping Centre with Mainbrace Constructions. The team recently completed a major upgrade of the HVAC mechanical services across the retail facility.
