Project Duration

Innovations
The final design and documentation was detailed to the extent that it provided the plumbing contractor with a clear and concise method and sequence of new works in order to maintain operations to the remainder of the facility. This resultied in improving the efficiency and costs during construction whilst minimising disruption to the existing building habitants.
Specific Challenges
The Hydraulic services design was required to allow for the nursing home to continue operation whilst the new building was being built with no interruptions to water and drainage services.
The redeveloped building doubled in bed size. The hydraulic design was able to incorporate the existing water and drainage services with no infrastructure upgrades.
