The Watson Hotel, Walkerville SA
Services Provided: Mechanical / Electrical / Fire Protection / Hydraulics / Vertical Transportation / ESD
Project Value: $120M
The building situated in Warwick Street, Walkerville, was formerly the accommodation of the Department for Transport Energy and Infrastructure. BCA Engineers were engaged to undertake the planning and design for all aspects of infrastructure and building services.
Planning for temporary services was necessary to maintain equipment operational where required, while simultaneously allowing demolition and construction to progress. This applied in particular to power supply and communications services connected to existing operational telecommunications service provider equipment.
The most significant design challenge faced was the coordination of all new plant, equipment, and services risers within the existing building structure. The new development comprises extensive new infrastructure works including new high voltage switching cubicle and transformer substation, fire-water pumps, tanks and booster, and new domestic-water, sewer and gas connections.
The new $120M design incorporates commercial offices, restaurant and bar facilities, hotel and amenities such as gymnasium, pool and recreation area, as well as residential apartments and penthouse suites.
