Adelaide Remand Centre – Nurses Station Upgrade

Project Overview

McMahon Services were engaged by Spotless Limited to undertake the upgrade of the nurses station within the fully operational Adelaide Remand Centre, located in the Adelaide CBD.

The project involved the replacement of two kitchens within the nurse’s station, as well as an upgrade to the nurses office facilities, including but not limited to, installation of a new security desk, lighting and fixtures, zip units and flooring. The project was required to be completed within a strict four week deadline, resulting in a staged approach for the duration, with all works being completed outside of business hours. The first kitchen was demolished on a Friday night, with the installation of the replacement kitchen occurring on the Saturday after hours. The second kitchen was replaced the following week following the same process, ensuring minimal disruption for all staff and Remand Centre processes.

The nurses station and surrounding work areas were required to remain accessible at all times, with the team demolishing the nurse’s station, security desk and removing the carpet and vinyl flooring after hours, and the new station, security desk, carpet and flooring being installed the next day.

In order for the team to be able to undertake the works, they were required to adhere to strict security guidelines, such as obtaining level two passes. Level two passes clear personnel to work within correctional facilities without the need for being escorted by staff or security.

Before entering or exiting the prison, our team were required to pass their tools and belongings through an x-ray machine, with a list of the tools they were in possession of. All external sub-contractors needing to access the site were required to be cleared to work within the prison by the Department of Correctional Services, and upon entry receive retina scans, with x-rays and tool checks.

McMahon Services completed this project within the strict timeframe and with minimal disruption to the Adelaide Remand Centre nurse’s station team, further strengthening the relationship with Spotless Limited.
