Last month the project team celebrated another major milestone when they successfully completed the first "black start" test.
The new Stage 1 tower interior is starting to look like a contemporary hospital as we edge closer to construction completion.
The artwork concept by artist Nicola Moss is being installed on the walls and corridors in the Stage 1 tower.
The installation of major medical equipment is continuing on multiple floors inside the Stage 1 tower including medical gas pendants within the Operating Theatres, Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and Emergency Department (ED).
The digital operating theatre equipment is currently being installed in the hybrid theatres.
Work has ramped up on site this week following updated health orders, and is being carefully managed in line with COVID safety requirements.
The installation of furniture, equipment and signage is now underway on all floors inside the Stage 1 tower, with the fit-out of the helipad lobby is almost complete.
The fit-out of the lobby for the roof-top helipad is underway and the first helicopter test landing is scheduled to take place in the coming weeks.
The final finishing touches continue from Level 0 to Level 3 which includes a comprehensive review and testing process.
Construction has recommenced on the 14-storey tower following a short pause.
The scaffolding is almost down with the colours and textures of the new hospital tower’s unique façade on display.
CPB has commenced installing structural steel for the permanent East link bridge which will connect the new Stage 1 tower with Nepean Hospital’s current East Block.
The final tower crane has been removed and the installation of a large-scale artwork is now underway.
The new helipad is officially complete, with CPB finishing the line marking late last week.
Despite the recent rainfall, solid progress is being made on the façade of the Stage 1 tower, with the builders aiming to have all the scaffolding removed in June.
The Level 6 lift lobby is taking shape and the internal finishes are almost complete.
The colours and textures of the new hospital tower’s façade are on full display as the final sections of scaffolding come down.
Over the Easter break, the construction site for the Stage 1 tower will be closed on Friday 2 April and will re-open on Tuesday 6 April.
More than 500 builders are currently onsite working across a dozen floors – it’s a big operation!
More of the building's unique façade will be revealed as the scaffolding continues to come down.
Fit out of the new Emergency Department (Level 0) is powering ahead, with flooring and painting almost complete and nearly all of the internal doors installed.
Our builders have finished pouring the concrete slab for Nepean Hospital’s new Ambulance Bay, which will have capacity for 10 ambulances at a time.
