CV Media & Signage, in partnership with our Asset Services team, installed the new external sky signage for the Gold Coast University Hospital facility. The project required the installation of three external signs – the main branded “Gold Coast University Hospital” signs at the front and rear and the vertical “Emergency” sign. The job was designed, fabricated and manufactured in Eagle Farm, transported to the Gold Coast and installed by our crews.

Due to the specific demands of the site, the installation required careful planning to ensure there was minimal impact on the hospital’s operational environment. Several challenges needed to be negotiated due to the rooftop location including;

• the arrival and departure of helicopters
• the inability to work over existing in ground infrastructure.
• due to the infrastructure, the lifting zone was extended further from the building and as a result the team had to bring in an 80 tonne crane to deliver and install the rooftop elements, and
• the “Emergency” signage also needed a specialised solution with abseilers required for the installation. 

The project was delivered on time, on budget and with minimal disruptions to the hospital environment. Gold Coast University Hospital and Queensland Health Services were extremely pleased with the results, with Wayne Chandler from the Asset Management Services department saying “they look amazing, meet all of our expectations and the project management was outstanding… we look forward to working with you again in the future”.
