Replacing and future-proofing the ageing services that keep Auckland City Hospital and Greenlane Clinical Centre running, tranche by tranche, without interrupting care.
Facilities Infrastructure Remediation Programme
Client
Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora
Te Toka Tumai Auckland's largest hospital campus runs on infrastructure that in many places is past its service life or no longer fit for purpose, some of it up to fifty years old. The Facilities Infrastructure Remediation Programme is a ten-year, $1 billion suite of works to replace, upgrade and future-proof the power, water, medical gas and building systems clinical services depend on, across Auckland City Hospital and Greenlane Clinical Centre.
Health New Zealand appointed RCP to oversee delivery across the programme's tranches and to lead its business cases, setting the strategy for the whole programme and securing its funding. RCP wrote the detailed cases for the first two: tranche one fixes what has to be fixed now to keep the hospital running and safe, and tranche two builds resilience and capacity for future growth, sequenced so the horizontal infrastructure goes in ahead of the vertical. RCP is now formulating the tranche three case for decarbonisation, which has to stack up financially and technically and prove its relevance in a competitive funding environment.
Held to one plan across a decade of works, the programme is steadily renewing the foundations Auckland's biggest hospital campus depends on, and making the case for the lower-carbon, more resilient systems it will need next.
