Retracom Modular Fire Rated Switchrooms

Retracom recently completed the supply and install of an innovative fire rated switch room for UGL Engineering as part of a contract to upgrade of the Pittsworth Water Reclamation facilities for Toowoomba Regional Council. The specification of the switch room building required a 1 hour FRL (fire rated level) in accord with AS1530.4 to address the site ignition and flammability hazards. Typically this has been achieved by onsite construction in bricks and mortar. A fire engineer was engaged to integrate various proprietary FRL systems together in a single modular building certified as an alternate solution in compliance with building code. Factory fabrication enabled better build quality control and allowed us to work closely with UGL during the custom design process. The transportability of the modules further provided the flexibility of where the final switchgear fitout occurs. Our contract also included a combined amenities and control room building that is well suited to the clean lines and hygienic finish provided by sandwich panel. Retracom’s scope of works extended to site installation whereafter UGL Engineering fitted out the switch gear insitu.

Graeme Partland the Sales Manager for Retracom Buildings is currently attending the OZ Water 2015 expo in Adelaide.

“The first day of Ozwater 2015. It has been an excellent exhibition so far with a large number of exhibitors from within the water industry. We have met a number of potential customers and have made some  excellent contacts within the industry. Our attendance has also allowed us the opportunity to spend some time with existing customers such as UGL, Prominent Fluid and Aquatec Maxcon.  The Adelaide Convention Centre is proving to be an outstanding venue.”
