Fun facts about the redevelopment
21,000+ cubic metres of concrete will be poured – enough to fill 8.5 Olympic swimming pools.
55km of tiles will be hand-installed to create the building’s unique look. That’s enough to cover a row of tiles from Sydney CBD to Penrith. 250km of power cabling will be laid within the new hospital building – enough to cover a journey from Sydney to Newcastle.
2,500 tonnes of steel reinforcement will go into floors, walls, columns, and lift shafts.
Construction and sustainability highlights
2 fully electric tower cranes will be used to power construction without diesel – significantly reducing emissions while still doing the heavy lifting!
100% of steel reinforcement will be made in Australia, with 90% made from recycled materials.
13% of the current workforce is made up of women in non-traditional roles, helping redefine what a construction site looks like. 100% of construction power is being sourced from accredited renewable energy.
90% target for diversion of non-hazardous waste from landfill. This means most of our waste will be reused, recycled, or repurposed.
