The Brief

Alfred Health required a new passenger lift at Sandringham Hospital to improve accessibility and circulation throughout the Outpatients Department.

The project involved a combination of lift construction, structural alterations, building services upgrades and internal refurbishment works within a fully operational hospital environment. The key challenge was not only delivering the new lift infrastructure, but doing so while maintaining safe, uninterrupted access for patients, staff and visitors.

Our Approach

Ducon delivered the lift addition and associated refurbishment works through careful staging, detailed coordination and live environment controls. In practice that meant:

  • Construction of a new passenger lift, including reinforced concrete foundations, core-filled blockwork lift shaft, structural steel, roofing and cladding
  • Structural alterations and new lift openings across two levels, coordinated with existing hospital infrastructure and service requirements
  • Internal refurbishment works to the Registrar’s Lounge, including new partitions, joinery, ceilings, floor finishes, painting, lighting and make-good works
  • Mechanical, electrical, fire, hydraulic, security and access control upgrades to integrate the new lift into the existing hospital environment
  • Temporary hoardings, protected access routes and controlled construction zones to maintain safe movement through the Outpatients Department
  • Fortnightly look-ahead planning to help Alfred Health prepare for upcoming works, inspections, noise impacts and access requirements
  • Close coordination with Alfred Health, Marchese Partners, Schindler Lifts, specialist consultants and subcontractors to manage lift procurement, shop drawing approvals and building services interfaces

The Outcome

The Sandringham Hospital Lift Addition was delivered within a live healthcare environment, providing Alfred Health with a modern and compliant accessibility solution for the Outpatients Department.

The completed works improved circulation between levels, upgraded key building services and refreshed internal spaces, while maintaining hospital operations throughout construction.

Ducon also successfully managed additional client-requested enhancements and design development items during delivery, including upgraded mechanical services, additional lift security, CCTV, swipe card access, electronic access control and new blinds. These changes were incorporated through proactive communication, careful sequencing and collaborative planning.

The result is a high-quality, durable upgrade that supports ongoing patient care, staff access and operational efficiency within the existing Sandringham Hospital environment.
