Parliament House Canberra

PARLIAMENT HOUSE, MAIN PRODUCTION KITCHEN UPGRADE

Sector: Government

Contemporary Plumbing successfully completed a large commercial plumbing project at Parliament House in Canberra, where they installed and modified hydraulic systems to accommodate the new layout of the Member’s Private Kitchen.

The project involved installing high-density polyethylene pipe (HDPE) drainage lines to handle high-temperature waste from the kitchen, requiring the cutting, removal, and reinstatement of concrete. They also upgraded the hot water reticulation line to meet the kitchen’s demands. 

An ‘e-Water’ system was also installed, providing sanitising and cleaning water outlets at all sinks and hand basins. Despite the project’s complexity, Contemporary Plumbing completed the work at  Parliament House on time, within budget, and with zero defects.

Another great commercial plumbing project by Contemporary Plumbing Canberra.
