A large mobile crane has arrived on site to support the construction of the new $330 million Eurobodalla Regional Hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The crane\u2019s arrival marks an important step in delivering a sustainable, modern and purpose-built hospital to support the needs of the Eurobodalla Shire community from Narooma to Batemans Bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a maximum height of just over 70 metres, the crawler crane can lift up to 110 tonnes and will be used to carry a range of heavy building materials required for construction of the new hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unlike a traditional tower crane, which is fixed in place, a crawler crane moves on tracks, allowing greater flexibility around the building site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The crawler crane will enable efficient access and movement of materials across the large footprint of the new Eurobodalla Regional Hospital site. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Local students are invited to take part in a competition to help name the crane. The winner of the Name the Crane competition will have their winning name displayed on the crane. Prizes are also available for runners up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The colouring-in sheet can be downloaded from the Eurobodalla Regional Hospital project website and should be emailed to HI-EurobodallaHospital@health.nsw.gov.au.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
