St George Hospital, Kogarah, NSW

The Project

Project Details

The St George Hospital Stage 2 Redevelopment involved the construction of a new seven-level Acute Services Building on top of the existing operational 24-hour emergency department. This $227 million project features a nine-level Acute Services Building incorporating a 52-bed intensive care unit and high dependency unit, cardiac catheterisation unit, eight operating theatres, 128 inpatient beds, and a rooftop helipad. The complex construction sequence required waterproofing solutions capable of protecting critical healthcare infrastructure while maintaining continuous emergency department operations below the new tower.

To meet the highest performance and sustainability standards, the project focused on:

• Delivering reliable waterproofing protection for construction above an operational 24-hour emergency department without disrupting critical healthcare services
• Providing low-VOC, environmentally responsible systems suitable for sensitive healthcare environments including intensive care units and operating theatres
• Ensuring long-term durability for specialised applications including rooftop helipad surfaces subject to extreme loading and weather exposure

Envirosystems Solution

Envirosystems was specified for the St George Hospital Stage 2 Redevelopment, delivering waterproofing solutions across the complex seven-level construction above the operational emergency department. The specification addressed diverse healthcare applications including the intensive care unit, high dependency unit, cardiac catheterisation unit, operating theatres, inpatient areas and the rooftop helipad.

The Envirosystems products provided reliable, environmentally responsible waterproofing protection suited to the demanding requirements of acute care infrastructure. The systems ensured appropriate performance standards for sensitive medical environments while supporting the hospital’s continued emergency operations throughout the challenging construction sequence, contributing to the successful delivery of expanded healthcare capacity for the St George community.
