Golden View Care Hospital

Running in parallel with the building of the Lifestyle Village was another project on which May Plumbing & Gas were successful tenderers – the aged care hospital on an adjacent site.

This building consists of 70 hospital bedrooms, each with an ensuite, and includes a 12-bed dementia care unit and palliative care.

There are two dining rooms with serveries, a commercial grade laundry and a commercial kitchen, three hospital sluice rooms, a hairdressing salon and many offices and consulting rooms.

There is a lot of plumbing involved on a project like this. The May Plumbing team installed all of the drainage systems for the complex including some of the civil works, all of the internal plumbing works, around 20 backflow RPZ valves, a commercial plant room with two very large water softening plants and a large hot water production system, emergency back-up water supply systems, literally kilometres of piping in the service corridors and of course fitted all the toilets, taps, showers, kitchens and hospital sluice rooms. 

We started on-site in September 2019 and the project handover is August 2021, so we spent two years on-site.

The apprentices that started gaining experience on the lifestyle village, then moved on to gaining skills working on the commercial hospital and we added another one, so they all got to experience and learnt a vast range of our trade works on these projects.

Three new plumbers have been brought into the world on the back of these projects, which is really awesome as the industry struggles with low numbers of tradespeople, even worse in the provinces.

We are very thankful to the owners of these facilities for supporting local business.
