Northern Beaches Hospital

Time and efficiency were two of the client’s main concerns. That is why we extensively implemented building information modeling (BIM) across all disciplines. We also used a single platform called Navisworks to streamline design processes in a 3D space and improve the client’s review with the help of a visual representation of the site. The extensive 3D finite models we produced helped with design improvements and ensured that the structure will be able to withstand extreme events such as earthquake and turbulent winds. The dynamic collaboration between our teams in Sydney and Manila was crucial in reducing the costs and time needed for the project. The Manila team did much of the analysis requirements while our team in Sydney performed verification and project management roles.

Northern Beaches Hospital has received a long list of awards and distinctions over the years, including being the first Green Star hospital in NSW, thanks to the dedication and innovations employed in its development. But more importantly, the completion of Northern Beaches Hospital has resulted in tangible improvements in healthcare services in the area by providing a state-of-the-art facility and reducing the load on Manly and Royal North Shores hospitals.
