An extensive and carefully coordinated crane lift was conducted at the Children'sHospital, involving close collaboration between Melbourne City Council, the RoyalChildren’s Hospital,Millennium, and AG Coombs. This complex operation required the setup of a 450-tonne crane in the park adjacent to the hospital, a process that demanded precise planning and logistical coordination to minimize disruption to hospital services and the surrounding area.

The primary objective of this lift was the installation of two new cooling towers, criticalcomponents designed to service the hospital’s emergency department. These cooling towers are essential for maintaining optimal climate control and ensuring the emergency department's ability to operate under all conditions, particularly during peak demand periods.

Given the location of the hospital and the necessity to position the crane in the adjacentpark, significant coordination with the Melbourne City Council was required to ensuresafe road closures, pedestrian management, and minimal impact on public spaces. The collaborative efforts between the hospital, the city, and the contractors ensured that the installation was carried out smoothly and safely, with minimal disruption to the hospital’s operations.

This project was part of a broader effort to upgrade and enhance the hospital’s infrastructure, ensuring that vital services like the emergency department continue to function efficiently with state-of-the-art systems in place. The successful installation of the cooling towers was a key milestone in this complex and important project, highlighting the importance of teamwork, precision, and advanced engineering
