Warringal Private Hospital is one of the largest hospitals in Ramsay Health’s portfolio of healthcare sites. With 215 beds and 11 Operating Theatres it has an important role in North East Melbourne’s community.
Nuvo Group was successfully selected from a full public tender as the preferred contractor for the Electrical, Technology and Data packages of a large redevelopment project for the hospital.
Nuvo undertook a full Design and Construct contract over 12 months. The scope of the $30 million project included an additional 67 beds, 5 Operating Theatres, a new Recovery Unit, and new Clean Sterile Stock Department. By bolstering the capacity of the hospital, this expansion has helped Warringal Private to meet the growing healthcare needs of Melbourne’s North Eastern suburbs.
A high attention to detail in the planning of Critical Shutdowns by Nuvo’s project team allowed Warringal Private to continue to operate smoothly with the absolute minimum of interruption to staff and patients.
The Senior Project Manager, Guy Finnis from Built said: “Since the successful completion of the Warringal Private Hospital Redevelopment, Built has engaged Nuvo on another complex hospital refurbishment (Epworth Freemasons) as a result of their performance. They are a company Built will routinely use in a pressured program and where a complex technical solution is required”.
Technical elements of the project involved: new generators, two new UPS systems, new systems for intercom, security and access control, communications and telephony, lighting control, BMS.
Nuvo’s expertise in Healthcare allowed for full compliance with AS3003 for body protected areas while minimising client spend.
