Execution
The project construction, including the
interior fitout, took 12 months following the
clearing and levelling of the site. Probest was
awarded the contract after a unique ratestender and negotiation process.
Detailed planning took place for the
security, data and audio-visual interface.
HVAC
The air-conditioning solution of this building
was designed by WSP in association with

50

Graeme Page Consulting Engineers to
comply with the latest SANS 10400 criteria
and energy efficiency was high on the
agenda. A VRF system with full heat recovery
functionality serves the majority of the
occupied areas providing individual indoor
environmental control for each boardroom
and meeting room and in the case of the
offices on a zonal basis for the internal and
perimeter areas. Hot water for the building
was also achieved through the waste heat of
the VRV system and heat exchanger.
