ADCO Constructions has been awarded a contract to provide early site works for the Laverton Hospital project in Western Australia (WA).
The company is set to commence works in early 2025.
This phase will include a range of preparatory activities such as earthworks, the establishment of a temporary access road, sewer diversion, and the design and trenching for an electrical upgrade.
Additionally, hoarding will be erected in anticipation of the main hospital construction works.
The new Laverton Hospital will offer emergency and outpatient services, as well as facilities for community health, mental health, and drug and alcohol services.
The hospital will also provide space for visiting clinicians.
The Cook Labor Government has expressed commitment to completing this project for the Goldfields-Esperance community.
WA Health Minister Amber-Jade Sanderson said: “I am pleased to announce the appointment of ADCO Constructions to the Laverton Hospital project - a Western Australian contractor with a proven track record of delivering projects in regional areas. Ali Kent has been a strong advocate for this project and the appointment of a forward works contractor is significant step.”
“Once complete, the new facility will be a modern, fit-for-purpose hospital that includes emergency and outpatient services, community health, mental health, drug and alcohol treatment services and space for visiting clinicians.”
In March this year, the WA Government celebrated the completion of the new METRONET Ellenbrook Station in Perth.
This achievement marked an advancement in the Cook Labor Government's initiative to connect Ellenbrook with a 21km rail line.
