Passive Fire Protection At Allevia Hospitals’ New Wing
Contractor: Leighs
Passive Fire NZ were proud to partner with Leighs Construction in the major redevelopment of the Allevia Hospital’s (formerly MercyAscot) theatre wing. This project involved opening a cutting-edge new theatre block in late 2024 featuring 10 modern operating theatres, a 17-bed Post Anaesthetic Care Unit, 6 ICU beds, 6 HDU beds and a 24-room ward (20 single, 4 double bedrooms). This cutting edge facility with care at its core, required world-class passive fire protection to safeguard patient and staff safety.
Passive Fire NZ played a critical role in ensuring fire safety standards were compliant and reliable, installing fire-stopping systems that matched the hospital’s premium standards. Careful demolition, foundation work and vibration-minimisation measures were being carried out throughout the project, which required meticulous planning for onsite operation and safety. The brand new, modern, first-class healthcare institute provides additional capacity for specialists which enables better and faster patient treatment, in exceptional constructed, reliable and highly certified buildings.
