10.2.3 Refer to 5.14 Note
10.2.4 ME provided the following feedback regarding the AC TTA Done
Equipment:
The tender submission from TTA has no schedule of
deviations or allowance for alternative equipment to the
specification to be used. We had asked for a schedule of
equipment to be provided by their sub-contractor at site
meetings to confirm the equipment being used will comply
with the design requirements:

1. Console Units – drawings, spec and BOQ has


“Maclaren” units specified – Contractors submission is
for “YORK” units, these units are not accepted by us as
the installation method of the units differ drastically
from the specified units – i.e “Maclaren” units need
two 170mm holes for ventilation to operate correctly
– “York” require a large 760mm x 405mm opening
through the wall, this poses a safety risk as you are
creating multiple options for access points into the
building. Also due to the depth of the units where
there are no cavity walls the units do not sit flush with
the wall and either protrude internally or externally.
The “York” units are louder, and have higher electrical
requirements.
2. Midwall units – drawings, spec and BOQ has
“Mitsubishi” units specified - Contractors submission

PAGE NO. 14
National Department of Health
1629 - Limpopo Clinics - New Thengwe Clinic
