| North West Hospital and Health Service (NWHHS) invites tenders from suitably qualified and experienced contractors to undertake construction of the Doomadgee Hospital water treatment plant (the project). The project’s drawings and specification are outlined in the documents provided by Hydraulic Designs Queensland Pty Ltd and CETEC.
NWHHS is obligated to identify hazards, hazard sources and hazardous events and implement controls to address risks associated with these hazardous sources and events for Doomadgee Hospital.
Several risks have been identified. Unfortunately, the current infrastructure is inadequate. To address these issues, a water treatment plant (WTP) will be installed on the incoming water supply to inpatient areas, giving hospital personnel greater control over water quality and identified risks. The existing hot and cold pipework in the main hospital will be replaced to meet Australian Standards, and the hot water plant will be replaced to maintain temperature.
The WTP will ensure appropriate treatment of the incoming and recirculated water. The WTP will feature a dosing plant with dose control, return lines to the treatment plant, water storage, corrosion monitoring, and an update to the water risk management plan if deemed necessary.
