The Westmead Redevelopment project is one of the largest health refurbishment projects in NSW. The Project posed many challenges in a live and operational environment. With a total refurbishment scope of over 10,000m2, this complex and staged work had to ensure a seamless relationship with the existing operational use and construction. Stakeholders include Operating Theatres, Birthing, High Dependency Units, Intensive Care Units, PET / Imaging Departments, General Public and Staff and many more.
A summary of the milestones included within this extremely complex project is: Ambulatory Care, Operating Theatres, Dermatology, Respiratory Care, and a Cystic Fibrosis Care Unit.
The works were undertaken entirely within a live operational hospital environment with the existing hospital campus remaining fully operational throughout the entire project – plus the additional complexity of Westmead’s major role during the Covid epidemic. 
The team worked to develop a five-stage delivery approach to manage the challenge of working within an operational hospital precinct. The stages had to be responsive and at times modified due to the day-to-day operational requirements from the hospital. 
This project is extremely complex, and the finished result is a credit to all members of the construction team.
