A long-standing relationship established in 2002, EQUANS delivers planned and reactive mechanical maintenance services through a permanent on-site team of technicians, providing quality support 365 days a year.
Being a 48-year-old, highly operational building, hosting more than 10.9 million visitors every year, the Sydney Opera House (SOH) consists of a number of assets varying in age and criticality requiring fast and responsive servicing. The temperature- and humidity-critical environment requires our site-based team to maintain differing temperature setpoints throughout the facility.
Did They know?
Temperature and humidity are critical to musical instruments. When the Sydney Symphony Orchestra is on stage in the Concert Hall, the temperature must be 22.5 degrees to ensure the instruments stay in tune (Source: SOH website).
The Solution
The on-site mechanical services team has worked near with SOH to raise the whole-of-life asset regime
Throughout the partnership, which has grown over 19 years, the on-site mechanical services team has worked closely with SOH to introduce whole-of-life asset management and lifecycle planning, delivering over 750 project installations and upgrades while improving the overall performance of existing assets.
Most recently, as part of the long-standing partnership, EQUANS sponsored the Sydney Opera House New Work Now initiative, which provides meaningful support for local Australian artists and art workers to continue to develop new works for their community through COVID-19 and beyond.
The Benefit
The mechanical services team mobilized into this contract in 2002 and has built long-standing relationships with the SOH teams as well as in-depth knowledge of the unique facility.
Being a highly secure landmark, with the teams on-site 365 days a year, a high level of security protocols and induction processes are required to be upheld.
