CPB Contractors, a subsidiary of CIMIC Group, has been chosen by the New South Wales government to oversee the design, early works, and delivery phases of the Royal Prince Alfred (RPA) Hospital redevelopment in Camperdown, Sydney.
The project marks the most significant redevelopment in RPA Hospital’s 140-year history and will involve upgrades and reconfiguration of various departments within the hospital.
CIMIC Group Executive Chairman Juan Santamaria expressed his satisfaction with being selected for this project, highlighting the importance of supporting RPA Hospital in delivering advanced health services to its local community and patients from across New South Wales, Australia, and internationally.
CPB Contractors Managing Director Jason Spears highlighted the company’s previous successful projects in the healthcare sector, including the award-winning redevelopment of Nepean Hospital Stage 1 and the Campbelltown Hospital redevelopment.
“We look forward to working with the NSW Government to deliver this upgrade for the thousands of people who come through the RPA Hospital doors every year.
“We are focused on putting the needs of health workers, patients and community first, as well as ensuring minimal disruption to the hospital operations while providing local employment and traineeship opportunities, and seeking Indigenous and social procurement.”
The scope of work includes the construction of a new 15-storey acute hospital building adjacent to the existing RPA Hospital, expansion of the existing hospital structure, refurbishment of existing spaces, realignment of Lambie Dew Drive Road, diversion of existing inground services, and the design and construction of a temporary helicopter landing site.
CPB Contractors will collaborate closely with Health Infrastructure to ensure the successful delivery of this vital project.
Construction is scheduled to commence in 2024, with completion expected in 2028.
