Elephants Foot Chute Solutions was engaged by Lendlease to design and install an advanced chute solution for the new Frankston Hospital development. The project required high-capacity vertical transport for waste and linen over 11 levels, demanding both durability and compliance with strict healthcare standards.

The building features two separate systems: a triple chute system for waste and recycling, and a dedicated linen chute system. Each chute was constructed using heavy-duty materials to ensure long-term performance. Fire-rated, self-closing hoppers with smoke seals were installed across all service levels, with mid-level offsets and custom discharge room configurations designed to align with the building’s structure and flow.

To ensure hygiene and odour control, each system is supported by odour relief vents and flushing spray mechanisms on the top level. The basement discharge rooms were fitted with carousel systems to streamline collection, one configured for 1100L MGBs and the other for linen trolleys, ensuring efficient and compliant waste management operations.
