Watpac Limited has been awarded a $74-million contract to deliver the Roma Hospital Redevelopment Main Works project for Queensland Health. Located adjacent to the existing hospital in Queensland, Australia, Watpac will construct a new three-level building with a gross floor area of 12,550 square meters, providing 24 beds with departments including emergency, allied health, medical imaging, inpatient wards, pathology, medical records and central sterilizing.
Additional facilities to be delivered include theaters, a mortuary, reception, administration areas, staff lounge, training rooms, laundry, kitchen, a café and plant rooms.
With site works expected to commence in late September 2018, Watpac Construction State Manager Drew Brockhurst said the team looked forward to delivering this important project for the region. With the workforce to reach 160 people at peak construction, Brockhurst said Watpac is committed to providing opportunities for local businesses and trades.
The redevelopment is anticipated to be completed in late 2020.
