Description

Heidelberg Repatriation Hospital has two gas fired boilers located on the southwest side of the site in Bldg 56 (aka Boiler House Bldg)

The boilers are considered critical to the functionality of the hospital, as they are the primary source of energy for heating, cooling, humidification, sterilisation and cooking.

Both boilers have cracked combustion chambers and are releasing products of combustion (carbon dioxide) into the Boiler House.  Both boilers are beyond end of life and pose a significant risk of failure.

The objective of this project is to:
