I would just like to give some kudos to the DBC team for the fire interface testing at Grey Base Hospital.

I can see that defect/items raised from the previous two practice test runs were closed out including the high-level interface with the BMS. The semi-complex theatre shutdown works exactly as I expected under the different fire conditions so am walking away pretty happy.

All-in-all a good day and appreciate the effort you have all put in.

Powell Fenwick has worked with David Browne Contractors on a wide range of projects over the last 20 plus years. We find DBC has a very collaborative approach and we often work together closely to deliver complex and challenging projects.

Some of DBC’s recent successful projects we have worked on together include the new Shirley Boys’ High School and Avonside Girls’ High School campus, Tūranga (the New Central Library) and the new Wanaka South School. The mechanical services for these projects were all delivered to a high standard with very tight programmes.

We are carrying out Independent Commissioning Agent (ICA) duties on the University of OTAGO RSF project down in Dunedin and have been carrying out regular site inspection for the past 2-3 months down there.

Just wanted to say that we have been very impressed with the DBC workmanship and coordination done by your boys on that project – install looks very good and well planned in terms of coordination and seismic 4219 compliance on what is a very complex job mechanically. Kudos to your Dunedin team down there.
