Opened in late 2017, the new Royal Adelaide Hospital is South Australia’s flagship hospital. A 275,000m multi-storey building consisting of 40 operating theatres and 800 beds, including 100 same-day beds, the hospital treats an estimated 85,000 inpatients and 400,000 outpatients every year.
Drafting Solutions was engaged to provide a complete solution in Autodesk Revit for medical gas, pneumatic tube, dry fire and refrigeration systems. This included services coordination, shop drawings and as constructed drawings.
We also provided drafting services throughout the construction phase, relating to hydraulic services, mechanical services, antenna systems, department fit-outs, medical pendants, automatic guided vehicles, inventory management and signage.
The coordination process for this project was very challenging, with tight ceiling spaces and a complex reticulation of services throughout the building. The services coordination included in-ceiling services, reflected ceiling plans and wall elevations throughout the building.
Drafting Solutions provided coordinate files to the site teams, allowing them to mark out penetrations, pipework and pipe hangers with surveyor’s equipment. This streamlined the set-out and installation of services, greatly reducing the man hours on site.
Over the course of the project, we dedicated over 14,500 drafting hours, managed over 300 3-D model files and created approximately 700 detailed shop drawings.
We believe the most important part of any project is the planning.
Drafting Solutions has experience working in SA, NSW, VIC, WA, NT and TAS. We can help you with your project, wherever you are located, with our same level of excellent service.
