Fibreglass Developments is proud to have been involved in the design and manufacture of fibreglass components for the amazing mobile operating theatre produced for Mobile Medical Technology Ltd based in Christchurch, New Zealand.

The building of the theatre was co-ordinated by Rotorua company Mills Tui Ltd, and the brief was to provide the customer with a product that will not only meet their needs, but be a benchmark for the future.

Our role was to design and produce the truck and trailer fronts and supply lightweight GRP panels for construction of the trailer unit. We were provided with a concept drawing and a Freightliner truck to work from - the rest was up to us. Starting work on the project in late September, everything had to be ready for us to install by the 19th November - a very strict deadline to work to.

We commissioned Jurgen Brand of Designbrand in Wellington to do the design work, and he came up with a range of concept sketches based on the existing Freightliner to work from. Some constraints which limited the design were having to retain the original truck, replacing only the engine access hatch and down from the front bumpers.


From concept design to the finished product
