HYLC JOINT VENTURE
A view of three of eight cranes which were employed on the construction site .
Leading the way in engineering , design and infrastructure , the $ 1.85 billion new Royal Adelaide Hospital ( new RAH ) is the largest social infrastructure project in South Australian history .
On completion in 2016 , the new RAH will be the biggest , most technologically advanced hospital in South Australia and one of the most advanced in Australia , employing close to 6,000 people and accommodating 85,000 inpatients per year .
Several construction companies have been involved in the building of
RAH including Hansen Yuncken , one of Australia ’ s leading , privately owned construction companies at the forefront of change and innovation in the building industry , and Leighton Contractors , one of Australia ’ s most recognised and successful infrastructure companies .
We had the opportunity to talk to Con Kerpiniotis , operations director for HYLC Joint Venture , about the progress that has been made on the build , as well as the numerous technological and construction innovations used throughout the project thus far .
