Client Gold Coast University Hospital – Southport, Queensland
Sector Healthcare – Medical Infrastructure
Project Overview
As a major tertiary teaching hospital, the Gold Coast University Hospital requires high-performance infrastructure to support critical care and surgical services. A key part of its essential services network is the safe and continuous delivery of medical gases across wards, theatres, and emergency departments. Pacific Hoseflex was engaged to manufacture and assemble a comprehensive medical gas transfer system, including flexible hosing and pipework, designed to meet the hospital’s stringent safety and operational standards.
Our Scope
Pacific Hoseflex completed the full assembly of gas transfer hosing and piping systems, supplying a mix of flexible and hard pipe solutions for precision, durability, and safety.
- Stainless Steel Hoses
Vitalflex® braided hose assemblies used for vibration isolation and flexibility in critical gas delivery applications. - V & U Shape Expansion Joints
Designed to accommodate thermal and structural movement, protecting pipe systems in sensitive areas of the hospital. - Rubber Expansion Joints
Installed to absorb vibration and provide additional flexibility in areas with shifting infrastructure or tight spacing. - Hard Pipe Systems
Custom-manufactured rigid piping designed for clean, secure routing of oxygen and other medical gases throughout the facility.
Pacific Hoseflex completed assembly of medical gas transfer hosing and piping systems.
Products:
- Stainless Steel Hose.
- V/U Shape Expansion Joints.
- Rubber Expansion Joints.
- Pipe Systems – Hard Pipe.
Challenges
- Ensuring zero-leak, contamination-free operation of the gas transfer system across critical hospital zones.
- Meeting strict healthcare standards and certifications for medical-grade installations.
- Navigating a complex hospital layout to install piping and hosing around existing infrastructure with minimal disruption.
Outcome
Pacific Hoseflex delivered a system that:
- Enabled safe, efficient, and continuous medical gas supply throughout the hospital.
- Maintained sterile, compliant, and durable gas pathways across all installed zones.
- Accommodated building movement and thermal changes with flexible and expansion-capable assemblies.
- Was delivered and installed on time and to specification, supporting ongoing hospital operations without delay.
