In order to address constraints around medical imaging capacity, which were significant and expected to increase over time, Blue Tier was engaged to manage the refurbishment and upgrade of equipment within the Royal Hobart Hospital’s Angiography Suite. The project was critical to deliver additional capacity that would meet growing patient demand, and support better care for patients requiring interventional procedures.

Requirements of the project:
- Refurbishment and reconfiguration of the Angiography Suite into two-rooms so that the Angio/CT Unit could be used either as a single or two separate units
- incorporation of an Angio/CT Unit Plant Room
- control rooms for each side of the suite that included patient preparation area, bed bay, scrub area, sterile storeroom, non-sterile storeroom, staff amenities and patient amenities

The scope of works included the complete demolition of the existing suite, reconfiguration of services such as electrical, hydraulic, ICT and medical gas, upgrade and reconfiguration of HVAC systems to allow for negative air pressure, new radiation shielding, installation of new fire suppression system and works to the existing roof to prevent future leaks.
