EBOS Healthcare Logistics Facility

170 Years of Healthcare Supply

Healthcare Logistics EBOS, is a national wholesaler of healthcare services and pharmaceutical products which has been an integral part of the Australian landscape for more than 170 years. Today, from its national network of 10 warehouses, the company supplies more than 15,000 product lines to over 3500 pharmacy customers across the country.

State-of-the-Art WA Facility

To continue to respond to Australia’s dynamic healthcare landscape, EBOS must keep its logistics and supply chain management at worlds-best standard. This led recently to the expansion of its Australian business with the establishment of a new state-of-the-art facility located in Western Australia.

Full Design & Construct Partnership

Embraced by Bayliss Electrical Group as a full design and Construct and built by Q Design and Construct, the facility features contemporary, double-storey administration and dock offices and a spacious warehouse facility.

Temperature-Controlled Environment

Inside, the warehouse is fully temperature-controlled to ensure EBOS meets the stringent storage guidelines for these vital products. This is achieved with a next generation designed load management system and electricity monitoring system integrated with the refrigeration and mechanical services BMS systems, fully backed up by 2 on-site generators providing the highest level of redundancy to the facility. A cool room and freezers were also installed to meet the tighter temperature parameters of some key pharmaceuticals, while a custom-designed vault provides additional security for high-value products. This meant the requirement for clean, safe and reliable electrical supply was paramount.

A range of design initiatives was also incorporated throughout the plant to achieve full electrical redundancy (N+1) throughout, to ensure continuity of operations in the event of an unplanned electrical disruption.

Future-Focused Sustainable Solutions

EBOS future-focused approach was also extended to the sustainability of the new facility, with a number of eco-friendly enhancements. These include a ground water tank to capture run-off and allow recycled water to be used throughout the complex, the installation of a 50Kw solar system on the roof to provide renewable energy, and energy-efficient LED lighting throughout the warehouse achieving 5 star Greenstar certification.
