New build fitout for Waitemata District Health Board WDHB Takapuna With RCR

Brief

Chillex was appointed to provide the mechanical services with the development of this specialist mental health inpatient unit (MHIU) within the North Shore Hospital grounds.  The building comprises 2 levels and 2 basements

Highlights

• Working on a specialist building.  It compromised 2 levels and 2 basements where we located central mechanical, hydraulics, electrical and ICT plant. It included patient wards, hi-care wards, nurse stations, interview rooms and reception areas as well as staff rooms and offices.
• Applying innovating solutions to meet high level security requirements around otherwise accessible controls, detectors and monitors.  As an example, Chillex designed a customised secure grill for the fire detector to restrict tampering and then tested with real fire to ensure it was fit for purpose
