The ANGAU Memorial Hospital provides critical health services for the city of Lae, as well as the bordering Momase region in Papua New Guinea (PNG).

The project involves the progressive redevelopment of existing health services infrastructure at the Hospital. VAE have been engaged by CPB Contractors to undertake the design and construction of the mechanical services on the project covering over 4000sqm, including the following areas of the Hospital:

* Chiller plant serving the Acute Buildings Operating Theatres (4)
* ICU (20 bed)
* Central Sterile Services Department (CSSD)
* Emergency Department, and Imaging area

VAE was awarded the mechanical services contract based on our substantial value-added engineering, our design and construction expertise, and meeting project budgetary expectations. Our proven experience in delivery of projects in PNG was also key.

VAE has committed to training local labour and have engaged local PNG members of the team that previously worked on Star Mountain with VAE Group to relocate for the ANGAU Hospital project. The ANGAU redevelopment project is being jointly delivered as an integral part of the partnership between the Governments of Papua New Guinea and Australia.
