title: Switchboard upgrade goes smoothly.
abstract: In an article first published in the December 2015 issue of The Australian Hospital Engineer, Kim Bruton, a former editor of the magazine, who is chief engineer at Northeast Health Wangaratta (NHW), Victoria, discusses the installation of a new main switchboard for a 202-bed sub-regional hospital in north-east Victoria in Australia, and some of the key obstacles that had to be overcome. Throughout the project normal power supplies had to be maintained at all times to the hospital's theatre suites, emergency department, and critical care unit. The A$1.05 m project was delivered on time and on budget in compliance with the projected desired outcomes.
