Flexible cooling and power solution for critical infrastructure installation
Managing precise climate control without fixed power, in a high-risk construction environment
Covalent Lithium engaged Aircon Hire to support a primary construction phase at their Kwinana site. The project involved installing and curing rubber linings inside large storage tanks, which demanded strict control over temperature and humidity to ensure product performance and meet engineering standards.
The site presented additional complexity. The system must run entirely on temporary power with no permanent power infrastructure available during key phases. The project schedule was also fluid, with varying tank sizes and shifting timelines that required fast response and flexible delivery.
All of this had to be achieved without compromising site safety. Ducting and air supply systems needed to be installed without obstructing common access points or restricting entry to tanks up to 17 metres tall.
Delivering a complete cooling system within tight technical limits, fast
Aircon Hire developed a fully integrated solution designed to perform in a demanding and dynamic environment. We deployed two 50kW reverse cycle package air conditioners, supported by flexible ducting to direct airflow precisely into each tank. Conditions were maintained within 10% of specified thresholds throughout critical installation periods.
Power was supplied by two 100kVA generators, along with cabling and temporary distribution boards. This provided a stable, standalone energy source that eliminated reliance on fixed infrastructure. Our team managed installation, commissioning, and ongoing optimisation. We also delivered 24/7 system monitoring and a preventive maintenance program to ensure consistent performance and reduce risk.
As tank works progressed, we worked closely with Covalent’s team to adjust the system layout in response to changing requirements. The design allowed for quick repositioning while maintaining safe access and compliance across the site.
Twelve months of stable, compliant conditions across a complex build.
