ADCO Constructions has been appointed to deliver a new MRI suite at Hedland Health Campus.
The $22 million suite will deliver:
- MRI scanning room;
- control room;
- anaesthetic preparation room;
- plant and equipment spaces and support facilities; and
- reception and sub-wait areas with changerooms and amenities.
When complete, the suite will be located adjacent to existing diagnostic services provided by the Hedland Health Campus Medical Imaging Department, including Computed Tomography (CT), X-ray, fluoroscopy and ultrasound.
The new facility is expected to provide more than 2,000 diagnostic tests each year to residents in South Hedland, Newman, Karratha, Dampier, Tom Price, Onslow and Paraburdoo.
ADCO Constructions were previously engaged under the Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) procurement model to progress the suite's design alongside project teams and will commence construction soon on the facility.
