Memorial Hospital CSSD Upgrades – Stage 2 and 3
Winner: Commercial Refurbishment / Redevelopment up to $5M
The Memorial Hospital in North Adelaide required an upgrade to its Central Sterile Service Department (CSSD) to maintain compliance standardsin South Australia. The scope involved a comprehensive mechanical services upgrade, installation of new sterilisation equipment and associated services and a new sewer connection. As part of the upgrades, ACHA also saw the opportunity to modify the existing layout of its CSSD to improve the flow of work and movement and the overall service delivery within the hospital.
Judges’ comments: “SA Health rated this project high risk due to the requirement of maintaining Central Sterile Services Department (CSSD) operations and strict infection control. The project team implemented several innovative solutions and staging that required detailed daily consultation with the hospital staff, managing quality, safety and environmental aspects of this project very effectively. SHAPE’s attention to detail and team approach was a major contributing factor in the successful outcome of this project. An outstanding job by SHAPE. Congratulations!”

Flinders St Fitout (undisclosed client)
Winner: Commercial Fit-Out over $5M
Following a new lease agreement, the client identified an opportunity to upgrade its head office to maintain a high-quality, contemporary environment. SHAPE delivered the 10 floor fitout across three key stages. Many of the floors comprise varying workspaces, meeting rooms and breakout spaces. The client also desired a welcome floor with a small exhibition space, a training centre for their technical staff which involved a high level of IT integration, and the construction of a winter garden.
Judges’ comments: “The Flinders Street fit-out was a credit to SHAPE Australia. The project was made very complex by the client’s requirement that the noise transmission from work areas through the atrium be strictly controlled. SHAPE managed this very effectively with the development of modular reusable acoustic hoardings. The quality of workmanship was exceptional throughout. SHAPE’s ability to plan and execute a challenging contract whilst maintaining a very high level of performance across quality, safety and environmental aspects all whilst maintaining excellent relationships across all stakeholders was a highlight. Whilst there was only one entry in this category, SHAPE achieved a high level of excellence they should be very proud of. Congratulations!”
