Parkside Steam Safety Valves Project

Health New Zealand invites tenders from suitably qualified and experienced contractors for the delivery of the Parkside Steam Safety Valves Project at Parkside Hospital, Christchurch.

The project involves the replacement and upgrade of steam safety control infrastructure serving domestic hot water (DHW) calorifiers and low temperature hot water (LTHW) heat exchangers. The works include the supply, installation, testing and commissioning of new steam safety shut-off valve assemblies, associated pipework modifications, controls integration, electrical interfaces, asset information requirements, commissioning and handover documentation.

The Works are to be undertaken within an operational healthcare environment. Contractors will be required to plan and coordinate all service interruptions, shutdowns and reinstatement activities to minimise disruption to hospital operations. The successful contractor will be responsible for all labour, supervision, plant, materials, equipment and specialist resources necessary to complete the Works in accordance with the Contract Documents.
