Dive Compressor Replacement at MSAC

The purpose of this project is the planned, like-for-like replacement of aging, end-of-life mechanical assets for the dive pool sparger system and its accompanying cycling dryer.

The project scope includes the complete removal, supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of dive pool sparger air compressors and associated equipment.

All replacements are to be like-for-like, ensuring:

• Match and verify electrical Infrastructure

• Mechanical compatibility with existing infrastructure.

• Minimal modification to existing pipework, supports, and controls.

• Proper bypass system is in place

• Validate plant room ventilation and ambient airflow is suitable

• Vibration management

• Correct placement of condensate drains

• Pipe sizing for any new components is suitable

It will also deliver a comprehensive three-year service plan.

Background information / Compatibility requirements

The State Sport Centres Trust is a statutory authority responsible for governing the State Sport Centre’s four venues; Melbourne Sports & Aquatic Centre (MSAC), the State Netball and Hockey Centre (Parkville), Lakeside Stadium and the State Basketball Centre (Knox). As a premier multi-sport facility in Victoria, our vision is to enable sporting organisations and individuals to achieve peak performance, reach their potential and deliver world-class events.

Currently, one compressor system has failed completely. This failed unit has been decommissioned, leaving operations entirely reliant on a single remaining compressor that is also near its end-of-life. To eliminate the critical risk of system downtime and restore operational reliability to required standards, this project will proactively replace both compressor systems and all associated components.
