Introduction:

The project comprised of a new South Wing consisting of 160 additional beds including a dedicated Cancer Centre, new 7 storey medical centre and extension of the existing hospital to include new operating theatres, endoscopy, ICU/CCU departments and a new Central Plant Room.

Project Description:
  • New chillers 7000 Kw and chilled water reticulation piping including pumps; insulation and cladding
  • New heating water boilers and heating water reticulation piping including pumps, insulation and cladding
  • New steam boilers and steam reticulation piping and pumps insulated and cladding
  • Chilled water air handling units and heating coils
  • Variable air volume (VAV) boxes serving various areas of the hospital
  • Built up return air plenums and heat recovery units
  • Variable refrigerant DX system serving Medical Centre Building
Technical Challenges:

The project was undertaken in stages with the extension of the existing hospital forming part of the initial stages. Coordination was a critical factor in the success of the project especially throughout the earlier stages whereby certain areas of the hospital not allowing us to perform staged shutdowns.

Jako Industries encountered space constraints in many areas of the new and existing hospital extensions due to extensive ductwork, piping medical ser-vices and built-up air handling plant. The retrofit of the existing areas and an estimate of existing services could not be ascertained until all ceilings were removed, which made shop drawings difficult to produce to meet milestone time frames.

Jako Industries acted as a lead sub contractor to co-ordinate the services to ensure all nominated services fitted within confined space and were service-able.
