Saint Carolus Hospital Project
IndonesiaCompany Name: PT. Sekawan Bangun Perkasa
Project description
Saint Carolus new hospital building is a modernized development from previous old historical building in Central Jakarta which has been built since 1916 owned by Perkumpulan Perhimpunan Saint-Carolus Vereeniging. It was a revolutionary project driven by ambition to build a hospital building with best performance of acoustic, fire protection, durability, aesthetic and healthy environment. The major transformation was made by replacing the traditional brick wall and converting it into the use of the latest technology from Gyproc® for X-ray protection room and high quality of wall partition room where the dry wall application itself is still rarely used. Despite the challenges in terms of safety, technical and logistic issues that required high workmanship, experience, and cooperation from all parties, we are proud to make this project become the first project with controversial use of plasterboard applied in Indonesia.

Key Challenges
Convincing every stakeholder in this project regarding plasterboard usability, especially for X-Ray radiation protection room that’s still considered as controversial for radiology practice was the most significant challenge.
We educated our contractor about the workmanship quality of drywall installation process according to Gyproc standard in which the contractor had to learn the detailed installation XRoc® and Habito® board system. At the same time, we had to maintain intensive coordination between the owner, contractor, architect and Gyproc. We also adopted all the changes to the project plan quickly until the last month of the timeframe.
