Taranaki Base Hospital.

The Taranaki Base Hospital redevelopment - Stage 2 includes the six storey, 20,000m2 East Wing Building (called NEWB) which houses Maternity, Neonatal, Radiology, ICU, the Emergency Department and other acute clinical services and has a rooftop helicopter pad. The project is estimated to be fully completed by the end of 2025.

The NEWB adjoins and is connected to the stage 1 Acute Services Building. The development is part of Project Maunga - a long-term plan to improve infrastructure at the original 1950s campus with a focus on more integrated and efficient patient care.

87 Ultraflex NANO chain drives are controlled by 7 WindowMaster WCC320P1012 Natural ventilation controllers. These WindowMaster controllers are connected to the BMS via BACNET Ethernet IP seamless control across different floor levels and zones. Local manual switches are available to lock the system down in emergency situations.

EllisCo also installed 107 x DORIC DN400 twin chain manual openers along with 107 x COMUS Window reed switches to link to the BMS and signal manual window have been opened.
