UQ VETS

Veterinary teaching and clinical facilities operate in highly controlled environments where equipment reliability directly impacts animal welfare, staff safety, and teaching outcomes.

At UQ Vets, compressed air systems are used to support on-site oxygen generators, making system performance and continuity essential. Any interruption or degradation in compressed air supply has the potential to disrupt clinical services and teaching activities.

The challenge was to ensure:

• Existing compressor systems remained reliable and fit for purpose
• Installations and upgrades were completed safely within an active clinical environment
• Ongoing maintenance supported continuous, dependable operation of oxygen generation equipment

QCAS provides UQ Vets with a combination of installation support and ongoing maintenance for existing compressor equipment across their facilities.

This includes:

• Maintenance of existing compressor assets to ensure consistent performance
• Installation works to support system reliability and operational requirements
• Inspection and servicing of compressed air infrastructure to identify emerging issues early
• Clear communication and documentation aligned with education and clinical governance expectations
  

All works are completed with a strong focus on safety, correct procedures, and minimising disruption to clinical and teaching operations.

By maintaining familiarity with the site and its systems, QCAS is able to deliver consistent outcomes and respond effectively to the needs of a live veterinary environment.

Through ongoing maintenance and installation support, UQ Vets benefits from compressed air systems that reliably support oxygen generation and critical clinical functions.

Key outcomes include:

• Improved reliability of compressed air supply to oxygen generation equipment
• Reduced risk of unexpected system failures
• Increased confidence in system performance within safety-critical environments
• Ongoing support from a trusted service partner familiar with the facility
  

The partnership ensures compressed air systems continue to support both clinical operations and veterinary education without interruption.
