During a construction project with Badge Constructors at the University of Southern Queensland at Springfield, a fault in the central chilled water plant caused one of the main chilled water lines to implode. The result was that the University had no air conditioning. VAE were asked if we could help. We responded and within 48 hours the plant was on line. Badge's services manager, Ian Smith, said that there was no other company in Brisbane who could provide the engineers, automation technicians and plumbers to rectify the problem that quickly.
