The hospital maintenance shed was built to support the laundry team at Prince Charles Hospital in Chermside. Their old setup—shipping containers scattered across the site—wasn’t cutting it. The team needed a safe, efficient space to store and sort laundry, especially with forklifts and heavy bins in constant use. Debret delivered a purpose-built shed that now plays a major role in the hospital’s daily operations. From start to finish, the whole job was managed in-house by the Debret team.

General Flashings
Before this build, the laundry department worked out of scattered shipping containers. It wasn’t safe, weatherproof, or easy to navigate with forklifts. The hospital needed a proper industrial shed that was low-maintenance and built to handle traffic. Debret designed a heavy-duty solution with forklift-rated concrete, wide internal clearance, and seamless access. The new hospital maintenance shed completely changed how the team stores and moves laundry on site.

Debret managed the job from the first site walk to final handover. The team handled everything, including site clearing, engineering, council approvals, slab construction, and final electrical works. The site had tight access and plenty of vegetation, but Debret made it work. They also installed a new mains connection to tie into the hospital’s power grid. With no subcontractors needed, the build stayed on time, and the hospital team had one point of contact the whole way through. It’s another example of how Debret makes big builds easy.
This shed wasn’t just about size. It needed smart features to support a busy team. Debret included full internal lighting, external security lights, and plenty of GPOs for day-to-day use. The twin roller doors make forklift access simple, and the PA doors offer extra entry points. The forklift-rated slab means bins and trolleys can move around without damaging the floor. It’s all built tough, because that’s what a hospital maintenance shed needs.

Because the shed sits near the main laundry building, it had to work with the existing site layout. Debret made sure the new structure didn’t impact daily operations, especially truck access and movement. The team carefully planned the shed’s placement to allow vehicles to flow through without disruption. This kept the site functional throughout the build and made ongoing access easy for the hospital team. The end result is a practical addition that blends in and improves how the space works overall.
