Cases
This project involved 3 main phases to provide a Clinical Decisions Unit, Step-Down Ward Facilities and a dedicated Lift from the Emergency Department at Level 1 to the Wards at Level 5. The lift was constructed within a seven storey high enclosed courtyard necessitating the use of a tower crane. The ground conditions in the courtyard area dictated the need for the use of mini piles and again the rig and all piling materials were craned into the working area. The projects also took place within a live working hospital environment. Two phases were procured via a traditional tender and the ward works were carried out under a Measured Term contract.
