Project Accolade
- This was a design and construct project involving the refurbishment of nine operational wards at Westmead Hospital.
- The project required the Kerfoot team to work in and around a live hospital environment with minimal disruption to hospital operations (including a 22 bed ICU unit).
- The site required the team to work in confined spaces, at heights and in environments which contained asbestos.
- Despite these challenges the team were able manage and oversee all works to deliver an outstanding result, transforming a 50 year old hospital into a state of the art health facility.
