Project: Refurbished an existing shell space on Level 2 of Auckland Hospital to create the Clinical Decision Unit.
Sector: Public Healthcare
Location: 2 Park Road, Grafton, Auckland, New Zealand
Client: ADHB
Architect: Klein
Building Contractor: Argon Construction
Plumber: Chenery
Project complete: 2018
Auckland Hospital underwent a major refurbishment to create the new Clinical Decision Unit. This 24-bed ward is used to relieve pressure on the Emergency Department, Short Stay Unit and Assessment and Planning Unit. This facility was designed by Klein Architects and construction was carried out by Argon Construction.
MacDonald Industries were selected to collaborate on this project and specified Zurn water controls and Delabie taps and mixers to the enclosed bedrooms, bed bays, procedure room and bathrooms.
MacDonald Industries technical consultants have specialist knowledge in working with healthcare facilities and were able to select the most suitable water control products for this project.
Hygiene is an essential aspect in the hospital environment as well as patient comfort, safety, ease of maintenance and servicing. Delabie water control products were able to meet the challenges posed by this project. Delabie specialist range of infection control taps and mixers prevent the build-up of bacteria that can develop in the network and also at the point-of-use itself.

Bathrooms for public buildings have a unique set of requirements.
Unlike residential environments these bathrooms can be subject to intermittent, intensive use by a range of diverse users over short and long periods of time. Solutions need to provide robust, efficient and cost effective whole-of-life outcomes. Hydraulic design with the appropriate behind and front-of-wall fittings are vital for the long term viability of a commercial bathroom.
With over 55 years experience in the design, specification, supply and installation of bathrooms for hospitals, schools, prisons, shopping malls, swimming pools, marae's, public buildings, sports stadiums, airports and public toilets Macdonald Industries has seen it all.
