NDY provided full building services engineering for the Star Mountain Plaza mixed use development in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea.
The project delivered a hotel, a world class convention centre, food, beverage and retail tenancies, a pool area and secured car parking. Provision was also made in the master planning and site services strategy for a second hotel and future residential tower.
In order to provide efficient and economical building designs, lifecycle operation and maintenance considerations were key concerns at the design stages. Key features and innovations include:
- Centralised back up emergency power systems
- Centralised fire pump systems
- Centralised water storage and site distribution
- Efficient central cooling plant utilising heat recovery for domestic hot water production
- Onsite central LPG storage and distribution
- High quality lighting to enhance the visitor experience
- High end food and beverage tenancies aimed at maximising the PNG climate
- Acoustic design solutions that provide quiet amenity to apartment residents.
The Plaza was delivered in time to enhance the visitor experience at the 2018 APEC summit, providing the Star Mountain precinct with a valuable high level asset for use well into the future.
NDY was also involved in the peer review of Star Mountain Stage 2 (mixed use and apartments).
