The new Royal Adelaide Hospital (RAH) is South Australia’s flagship tertiary level health care facility, providing 700 overnight and 100 same-day beds. Arup was involved with the $1.85 billion project for many years, co-locating our staff within the SA Health Project office, creating one high performing team to assist in delivery of the project.
For nearly 10 years prior to opening, Arup provided a range of project management and technical services, using our broad global knowledge network to advise SA Health on Public Private Partnership (PPP) procurement and management processes to assist with the achievement of best practice in healthcare facility design.
Our advisory role included project management of the feasibility and master planning early stages, acoustic, vibration, logistics and environmental advisory services, and later, implementation of an integrated Program Management Office (iPMO) for the transition (relocation) phase.
The iPMO role included assisting with benefits analysis, scheduling, coordination of progress reporting systems, documentation review, and implementation of contract and risk management systems to drive better results for the project and its programme. Critical to the success of the role was the direct support provided by Arup project managers to the equipment procurement, supply chain, operational commissioning and clinical activation, ICT, contract management and workforce teams, which strengthened the links between the “project” and the “business” of the health service.
