Healthcare environments are highly regulated needing solutions that consider safety, durability, and infection control requirements, while fulfilling architectural intent.

At the Modbury Hospital Mental Health Rehabilitation Unit and North Eastern Cancer Centre JRCM Commercial Joinery were engaged to deliver a fully integrated joinery solution that balanced clinical compliance with high-quality bespoke detailing.

The scope called for customised joinery across 44 patient rooms with fully fitted ensuites, treatment bays, staff kitchens, and feature wall linings throughout the facility.

“All joinery elements were thoughtfully designed and constructed with patient safety in mind, incorporating anti-ligature principles and tamper-resistant fixings to support a secure and compliant clinical setting,” explained said Managing Director John Reuther.

Working within a healthcare environment requires a meticulous approach to materials, safety, and durability. JRCM also worked in line with architect-specified material schedules while contributing practical insights into performance and long-term maintenance.

Delivering joinery across a complex, multi-level health precinct presented logistical challenges, particularly within an active hospital environment, requiring a delivery approach that prioritised sequencing, precision, and collaboration.

“JRCM carefully stages work and coordinates closely with other onsite trades. This approach ensures smooth installation, minimises disruption and maintains precision and quality across all elements of the project,” John said. “Through regular site meetings, detailed shop drawings, and proactive communication, JRCM ensured that all bespoke joinery was precisely integrated, achieving both functional performance and design intent.”

The result is a highly resolved healthcare environment where safety, durability, and architectural intent are successfully aligned through specialist delivery

A & M Passive Fire Systems delivered complex passive fire protection works for Modbury Hospital’s link bridge

A & M Passive Fire Systems

A & M Passive Fire Systems implemented passive fire protection for the Modbury Hospital Health Precinct. Project work required application of PROMAT CAFCO 300 Vermiculite to structural steel supporting the new link bridge between the existing hospital to the new Health Precinct.

The major challenge was coordinating access with the existing hospital’s public road, as the bridge passed over and adjacent to the construction site of the new building. The majority of the bridge was in public space and required implementation of work outside of normal working hours, being evening and night works.

Another significant challenge was to eliminate any vermiculite overspray onto the public road, adjacent existing building and construction site. This was done by creating a tunnel of plastic and shade cloth capturing the overspray as can be seen in the photos. Exclusion zones were implemented in all public and construction zones creating safe environments.

Due to the complexity of access into public zones, additional planning and coordination was required with the client, builder, contractors to achieve project success.

Built Environs and A & M Passive Fire Systems also have collaborated in the successful delivery of 150 Grenfell Street Expansion and ANI Blast and Paint Facility.
