Warrnambool Base Hospital Redevelopment

The client Victorian Health Building Authority / South West Health Care set specific Green Star & ESD requirements for the building which were met by a scope of works including a Kingspan insulated panel roof and wall system.

The RLDC will provide linen and healthcare supply services to help streamline the distribution of healthcare supplies and linen to more than 50 health providers in the region.  It provides a safer and modern working environment for health service workers.  Completion of the RDLC also meant that South West Healthcare could move their linen and healthcare supply services to the RDLC freeing up space at the main campus for the major redevelopment.
 
Signal & Hobbs sourced and supplied materials in a combination of standard Colorbond colours and special made-to-order colours.  The roof was completed in Kingspan’s RW1000 insulated roof panel in Colorbond® Windspray. Thewalls used a combination of custom colours including EvolutionHoney Glow, Blade Green & Pale Eucalypt to provide a vibrant façade of the building.

Local contractor Warrnambool Cranes were engaged by Signal & Hobbs to achieve the installation of the roof and wall panels and worked closely with Dale Humphries, our site foreman, to achieve the tight timeframes required for the project.

Although the project was a 3.5 hour drive from Melbourne, core Signal & Hobbs team members relocated to Warrnambool for the duration of the project which was a valuable contribution.
 
Working through the winter months meant that wind and rain were a factor on site however these were successfully mitigated and managed by close cooperation between Hansen Yuncken and Signal & Hobbs and careful attention to the programme.

Special mention goes to the Hansen Yuncken site team who were great to work with, providing clear direction and making sure the project ran smoothly for the site team.

Signal & Hobbs site foreman Dale Humphries said;

“We enjoyed working with the Hansen Yuncken site team and look forward to working with them on the next project.  Everyone worked together to make sure we all achieved the targets dates for completion.”
