The Problem

By the early 1980’s, the facilities and space available at The University of Sydney’s dedicated research facility was limiting the scope and scale of work that could be undertaken.

The university’s facility expansion was primarily to facilitate plant breeding research and associated postgraduate teaching. The expansion was also intended to allow for closer collaboration with other disciplines, particularly in the genotype x environment interactions area.

CAPS was awarded responsibility for the supply and installation work of 5 x gas-fueled power generators to operate as the backup power system for the research facility.
