Project Scope
Scope Of Works
Scaada Environmental was appointed to the Trades and Maintenance Services Panel for Barwon Health, delivering mould air quality testing and indoor air quality assessment services across multiple healthcare facilities in the Geelong region. The scope focused on mould air quality monitoring, with particular emphasis on airborne mould contamination within occupied clinical and care environments. Services included indoor air sampling, laboratory analysis, reporting, and practical remediation advice to support decisions regarding the safe reoccupation of affected areas.
Challenge
Many Barwon Health facilities accommodate occupants who are highly sensitive to airborne contaminants, including patients, clinical staff, and vulnerable community members. The key challenge was to undertake reliable air quality test mould investigations within operational healthcare environments, while minimising disruption to ongoing services. Rapid turnaround times and clear, actionable guidance were critical to support informed decision-making without impacting essential healthcare operations.
Project Outcome
Solution
Scaada implemented a targeted indoor air quality assessment program using specialist air sampling techniques focused on airborne mould. All samples were analysed through Scaada’s in-house laboratory, enabling efficient processing and reliable reporting. As one of the region’s experienced air quality monitoring companies, Scaada provided tailored remediation recommendations and practical advice on improving indoor air quality. Ongoing consultation with facility managers ensured assessments were scheduled effectively and aligned with operational requirements.
Outcome
The project delivered timely, high-quality mould air quality testing results that informed remediation works and supported decisions around the safe reoccupation of sensitive healthcare spaces. Scaada’s practical, risk-based advice helped Barwon Health maintain regulatory compliance while safeguarding occupant health and minimising operational disruption. The ongoing engagement demonstrates Scaada’s ability to deliver reliable indoor air quality solutions within complex, high-sensitivity environments.
