ACorp Construction was awarded the contract to design and deliver Bega Garnbirringu’s new Health Facility in Kalgoorlie.
ACorp managed the design phase, coordinating a range of consultants, including hydraulic, electrical, and mechanical service trades. These consultants provided critical input to ensure all requirements were met and that the project complied with relevant regulations. All plans were developed collaboratively, ensuring seamless integration between architectural and service disciplines, with no discrepancies across the design documentation. Once plans where finalised and approved by the principle we were ready to proceed with construction phase.
The construction combined tilt panel construction with external timber-framed walls at the gable ends. The tilt panels were cast onsite, requiring meticulous coordination of the installation sequence to minimize crane movements to a single lift throughout the process. This approach demanded careful planning and due diligence to ensure a safe construction method, including several weeks of preparation to establish the pour and erection sequence, as panels were cast directly on top of one another.
Upon completion of the superstructure, we successfully fitted out the building with all service elements, including the installation of the lift. Finishing trades delivered high-quality finishes throughout the interior.
Safety was a priority throughout the project. Robust site management, risk assessments, and daily toolbox talks ensured that all work was conducted to the highest safety standards. Thanks to the diligence of our team and sub-contractors, the project was completed without a single incident, highlighting ACorp’s commitment to the wellbeing of all personnel on site.
Externally, the standout feature of the project was undoubtedly the front and side facades, which showcased intricate perforated artwork. The design of these panels required close coordination with the client to ensure the artwork complemented the building and aligned with the project vision. The perforated panels were also seamlessly integrated into the curved feature fence, creating a striking transition from the façade to ground level, highly visible from the road. The design celebrated the local culture and community, reinforcing the facility’s role as both a healthcare centre and a culturally significant landmark.
