The Blacktown Mt. Druitt Hospital Redevelopment is a major expansion of existing health services and facilities in Western Sydney.

The project included provision of a new 7-storey Clinical Services Building, 20 bed Sub-Acute Mental Health facility & multi-storey car park and refurbished Engineering Services, Mortuary, CSSD and Kitchen area to the Blacktown campus as well as new Urgent Care Centre, Aged Care & Rehabilitation, Dental, Main Entry and CSSD facilities to the Mt. Druitt campus.

SCG team members delivered security design and construction services including:

• Security Design and Functional Briefs
• Concept, Schematic and Detailed Designs
• Tender Documentation
• Construction Supervision Services

Key Challenges and Solutions included:

• Project planning and procurement & construction staging to minimise disruption to hospital operations throughout construction
• Design and delivery across multiple projects and multiple contractors across both facilities
• Consolidation of multiple Security Management, Access Control and Intruder Alarm Systems into a single system common to both campuses and the wider Local Heath District (LHD)
• Migration of all existing security systems and technologies, including CCTV, to utilise the LHD wide area network (WAN)

The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute (WEHI) is one of Australia’s foremost medical research establishments.

SCG team members undertook the security design and project management of WEHI’s Biotechnology Research facility at Bundoora.

This specialist facility includes a substantial small animal breeding program and provides laboratories for the commercial incubation of the Institute’s discoveries, including the establishment of start-up biotechnology companies. The facility has high levels of security as a consequence.

SCG was engaged by RMIT to undertake a Threat, Vulnerability and Risk Assessment and to review the operational, technical, physical and management regimes from a holistic perspective across the campus.

SCG provided RMIT with a full picture of their threats, vulnerabilities and risks and pragmatic and realistic treatment plans and controls to assist in mitigating the identified risks as it relates to its Bundoora campus.

SCG has been engaged by the Queensland Department of Housing and Public Works, on behalf of the Department of Justice and Attorney-General, to implement a program of works to address obsolescence issues with perimeter electronic security systems and associated electrical systems in order to enhance safety and security, and to extend the useable life of Wolston Correctional Facility.  This includes detailed design and oversight of the implementation in a live operational environment.
