PROJECTS AND CONTRACTS
Marc Meire, divisional managing director of Aveng
Grinaker-LTA Building, reports that the bulk of the structure
is nearing completion. Brickwork, plaster and other wet
trades, as well as first fix services and bulk services installations,
are in progress.
“We are exceptionally pleased to have been awarded another
contract through our established relationship with the Netcare
Group,” he comments. “Despite the steelworkers strike and recent
rainfall, the project is on target for completion in August 2015.”
The 14 000 m
2
, double-storey building, which is situated west of
Johannesburg, near Krugersdorp, comprises a reinforced concrete
frame with flat slabs, while the external envelope is mostly made
up of brickwork. In addition to the construction of the building, all
associated works, including the specialised installations and finishes,
are being undertaken by Aveng Grinaker-LTA.
The company has previously completed hospitals in Lesotho
and in Mitchell’s Plain in the Western Cape. The 425-bed Queen
MamohatoMemorial Hospital in Lesothowas built for the public-pri-
vate partnership consortium Tsepong, in which Netcare has a
stake, while the 230-bed Mitchell’s Plain hospital was a contract
that was successfully completed for the Department of Transport
and Public Works.
“Aveng Grinaker-LTA’s extensive experience in this specialised
area is being brought to bear in this contract for the new Netcare
Pinehaven Hospital, and we look forward to playing a fundamental
role in providing Netcare with the infrastructure it requires to
continue to grow its business,” Meire concludes.
NEW PINEHAVEN HOSPITAL
Aveng Grinaker-LTA’s R199-million contract to build
a new, 100-bed hospital in Pinehaven, Gauteng, for
Netcare Properties is well underway.
