King Edward Memorial Hospital
Switchboard upgrades.
THE PROJECT
Switchboard upgrades
With the objective of achieving a higher level of electrical compliance, Foster’s Services were brought on to conduct extensive electrical assessments, repairs and replacements for Perth’s King Edward Memorial Hospital.
Being an old hospital, working around active wards, theatres, imaging centres and birthing suites presented a number of challenges that the Foster’s Services team were more than skilled in dealing with. Our dedicated, site-based project manager worked seamlessly with the hospital’s staff and Foster’s tradesmen, ensuring a successful project with minimal disruption to hospital operations.
