In 2016, Lendlease commenced significant upgrade works to Gosford Hospital and commissioned Bowsers to complete much of the passive fire rating on site; including many latent defects found in the existing building.
Fire rating works were conducted on the construction site and included; Fireseals protecting openings in fire resisting components of the building; Lightweight construction (fire spray to ductwork and structural steel); Fire damper installation and repairs.
Bowsers is highly experienced in hospital environments and was able to complete a thorough audit of passive fire rating works in the existing building within a timely manner. Bowsers provided project continuity by overseeing repairs by other trades and completing repairs themselves on the existing site and new construction.
With the construction site 100km from Bowsers’ head office and warehouse, additional logistics for scheduling staff on site and planning for materials handling was required. Additionally, Bowsers had to meet the demands and project timelines that come with a Tier 1 builder.
Ensuring adequate planning and careful coordination meant the job was well resourced and met the client’s needs. The project was successfully completed on time and Lendlease were extremely impressed by the attention to detail, professionalism and constant client communication during the project.
Bowsers’ service offering covers every phase of asset delivery and life cycle for various sectors.
