| Leighton Contractors consortium selected for hospital PPP project The South Australian Government has announced the selection of the SA Health Partnership - a consortium comprising Leighton Contractors, Hansen Yuncken, Macquarie Capital Group and Spotless - as preferred proponent to deliver the Royal Adelaide Hospital (NRAH). The new state-of-the-art hospital will be delivered as a Public Private Partnership (PPP) under the State Government's Partnerships SA model. The SA Health Partnership consortium will undertake the financing, design, construction and operation of the non-clinical services of the hospital for approximately 35 years, while SA Health will continue to operate the hospital and provide all core clinical services, staffing, teaching and research. Leighton Contractors will undertake the design and construction of the new hospital in joint venture with Hansen Yuncken. Leighton Contractors will also act as consortium sponsor and equity investor in the project. On completion, the NRAH will be the largest and most advanced hospital in South Australia with 800 beds, including 100 same-day beds, and 80,000 same-day and overnight admissions per year. Work will begin on the new hospital in the first half of 2011 with a proposed completion date of 2016. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
