Barwon Health Building B Feasibility Study
NCS was engaged by Barwon Health to manage Stage 3 works at Building B of the former Geelong Private Hospital, supporting COVID-19 surge capacity planning through targeted reactivation and uplift works
The proposed scope included critical fire services upgrades, expansion of the Satellite Reprocessing Unit (SRU) to align with four operational theatres, infrastructure improvements (chiller and RO plant), and refurbishment works to the lower ground and ground floors. Delivered under a Construct Only (Lump Sum) contract, the project required detailed staging to maintain live hospital operations and close coordination across stakeholders. During the procurement phase, potential structural limitations were identified, prompting early investigations. The project was ultimately placed on hold due to budget constraints and did not proceed to construction.
