In preparation for the 2022 Winter Olympic Games, ADP Consulting was engaged by the Olympic Winter Institute of Australia (OWIA) to help bring their vision of a world-class, all-year-round ski jump to one of the warmest regions in the country.

As part of the scope, our team developed a proprietary system to address the specific requirements of building and maintaining such an exceptional facility. Being the first system and build of its kind in Australia provided an exciting challenge and opportunity for engineers involved in the project.

Our team provided design advice from concept through to construction, and detailing for the ramp sprinkler system and amenities which required input from skilled hydraulics, mechanical and electrical teams.

Prior to the development of the Centre, Australia’s National Aerial Skiing team, colloquially known as the Flying Kangaroos, were forced to travel overseas to train, straining the physical capacity of the athletes.

The facility itself comprises seven ski jump runs, each meticulously calibrated to offer varying degrees of height and complexity. Crucially, these jumps replicate the conditions of winter snow competition jumps, while the adjacent pool provides a safe and controlled environment for water landings.
