Sydney’s Olympic Park Aquatic Centre recently purchased new LED video scoreboards to display both advertising and scores. Once the scoreboards were installed, there was a need to get the timing results up to the scoreboard very quickly. Holman Engineering was commissioned to develop a generic interface which would allow information from the Swiss Timing equipment [...]

Sydney’s other Olympic sites, Holman Engineering was invited to tender for the supply of the timing, display and event management systems for the SIRC. Holman Engineering’s bid provided a complete integrated solution to all timing, display and event management needs. The bid proposed utilising mostly products and software that were specifically developed for this project [...]

The Olympic Construction Authority had a need to install the world’s most technologically advanced event management system in the recently built Sydney International Aquatics Centre. This need went to international public tender. Holman Engineering proposed the development of a custom system to meet the specific needs of the 1994 FINA rules, the Sydney International Aquatic [...]

The Olympic Coordination Authority had a need to install the world’s most technologically advanced event management system in the recently built Sydney International Aquatics Centre (the venue for the 2000 Olympic Games).

The Athletics 2000 system (This is the name given to the event management software) receives the results electronically from the Photofinish equipment, drives the scoreboard, produces detailed reports at the completion of games, and provides all results to the media. The photo below was taken when the system was running the 1995 Optus National Athletics [...]

Most large buildings these days have external building facades on the outside to enhance their looks. Each type of facade panel must be tested to Australian Standards to ensure the safety of the public. Sydney’s largest producer of these facades needed a controller built which would control all the test parameters (Pressure, air flow, water [...]

Holman Engineering’s system controls several High Power (100kW) fans, eight valves, and several analogue control valves. These outputs are used to set the flow rate through the meter. The system reads twenty five RTD’s down to 0.01 of a degree C and twenty eight pressure transducers many times every second while a test is being [...]
