As Australia heads into another bushfire season, we’re taking a moment to look back on the incredible facility which supports the RFS NSW in their marvellous work to keep communities safe.
NSW Rural Fire Services are based in Sydney Olympic Park, with four floors dedicated to the headquarters providing the agency with a state-of-the-art control centre, supporting office spaces and high-quality end of trip facilities. With 180 screens, 640km of data cables and 5,200 data access points, the IT and data setup alone is singular configuration as part of an integrated fitout and support more than half of NSW’s RFS personnel and volunteers. The building achieved a 5 Green Star, NABERS energy and water rating on completed.
BSE worked with NSW RFS and their project management team to develop the scope for the new facility, and then continued involvement on the client-side team providing design peer review and advisory services. Our team delivered this value across mechanical, electrical, fire and hydraulic services.
Being part of this project and providing value in ensuring NSW Rural Fire Service ended up with a workable and functional facility was a huge honour to be part of and support the RFS in their incredible work for the NSW communities and keeping people safe.
