Manteena to build COVID-19 Emergency Department |
Manteena is ready and up for the challenge as it is contracted by Aspen Medical to construct the temporary COVID-19 Emergency Department (ED) on Garran Oval, adjacent to the Canberra Hospital. The facility is intended to be fully self-sufficient by way of public and staff car parking and amenities.
No sooner had the Minister for Health, Rachel Stephen-Smith, made the ACT Government’s announcement for the facility on Thursday 9th April —the site fencing was erected, and workers had drilled first pile foundations and made the first concrete pours.
Workers on site are practising safe social distancing and personal hygiene by abiding by the government’s new enforcements to stop the spread of COVID-19.
The temporary facility is expected to be operational in May
