Fourth tower crane arrives on Frankston site

The fourth and final tower crane at the $1.1 billion Frankston Hospital redevelopment site is now in operation.

Construction to deliver the bigger and better hospital is progressing well. We have made significant progress on the site, including:

earthworks completed
in-ground basement services completed
eight basement concrete slabs poured for the new clinical services tower
five suspended concrete slabs poured for new multi-deck carpark
construction of core structures underway (cores are major vertical structural elements, such as a staircase or lift shaft).

See how construction is progressing in this video.
