Challenge
What needed to be resolved.
Hospital structures demand more than standard commercial slab design. Service penetrations, equipment loadings, vibration control and long clear spans all need to be resolved inside a coordinated PT slab system.
PROJ Healthcare · Sunshine Coast, QLD
Maroochy Private Hospital
Structural design for 22,000m2 of post-tensioned slab on a $100M private hospital development on the Sunshine Coast.
Current project
Role Comten involvement

Solution
Comten's structural role.
Comten delivered a post-tensioned slab design package coordinated with the builder and wider consultant team, supporting the long spans and slab thicknesses required by the hospital's functional brief.
Outcome
Why it matters.
The project demonstrates Comten's ability to deliver PT slab design at the scale and complexity usually associated with larger engineering consultancies.
