Deakin University required an experienced head contractor to design and construct their “BatTRI-HUB 2.0” – a new world class battery fabrication, testing and diagnosis facility. INTREC successfully delivered this HUB which expands the capabilities of Deakin’s current battery engineering facility, translating research to pre-commercial scale prototyping, testing and innovation services.
The project included establishing three types of laboratories; a dry lab that will exploit the possibility of creating the inner core of the batteries, a glove box lab that will assemble the delicate parts of the batteries and lastly a battery testing lab. Also required were cell and pack testing facilities, new workspaces, workshop and storage areas.
Delivering such a complex facility required extensive coordination by the INTREC team, particularly with external stakeholders, to install and commission the highly specialised equipment. These efforts ensured that all systems were fully operational, enabling the client to promptly commence their experimental work.
INTREC also met both Practical Completion milestones within the designated timeframes, resulting in a high-quality laboratory that has been met with strong satisfaction from the end user.
