Thermotec’s Contribution to the $411 Million St George Hospital Redevelopment
Thermotec is proud to be involved in the $411 million St George Hospital Redevelopment – Stage 3, an ambitious project that will transform healthcare services for the local community. Known as The Kensington Street Building, this state-of-the-art facility aims to improve accessibility and provide exceptional care for patients and their caregivers, especially those with chronic conditions or mobility challenges.
The project also involves the demolition of outdated infrastructure, the refurbishment of current services, and the landscaping of the hospital forecourt. Completion is slated for late 2026, providing a state-of-the-art healthcare hub designed to meet the community's long-term needs.
Thermotec NuWrap 5: Enhancing Advanced Healthcare Infrastructure
A critical aspect of this redevelopment is ensuring that the hospital’s facilities comply with stringent acoustic performance standards, thus creating a safe and comfortable environment for patients, staff, and visitors. Thermotec’s NuWrap 5 acoustic pipe lagging plays a crucial role in achieving these outcomes.
NuWrap 5, featuring its hybrid composite design, integrates a mass-loaded barrier and convoluted acoustic foam with a fire-resistant aluminium foil facing. This innovative solution was selected for its unparalleled effectiveness in minimising noise transmission, which is vital in hospital settings, where quiet environments are essential for patient recovery and staff productivity.
Enhancing fire safety, the fire-resistant aluminium foil facing provides additional protection, which is essential for secure healthcare facilities, while also boosting durability and flexibility. NuWrap 5 installs easily around complex pipe systems, ensuring efficient operation and long-term reliability.
Creating a quieter, more efficient hospital environment in large-scale healthcare facilities, such as The Kensington Street Building, managing noise is crucial for fostering a healing atmosphere. NuWrap 5 is being extensively used in the redevelopment to insulate waste pipes, ductwork, and other areas sensitive to acoustic noise.
Thermotec’s NuWrap 5 effectively manages airborne and structure-borne noise:
Quieter patient rooms: Encouraging rest and recovery by reducing disruptive noise from plumbing and HVAC systems.
Improved staff focus: Lowering noise levels in operational areas enhances concentration and efficiency.
Compliance with Australian standards: NuWrap 5 adheres to stringent building codes regarding acoustic and fire safety in healthcare environments.
