New intensive care unit

The project was at the heart of the hospital site comprising a new 2 storey Intensive Care Unit, the structure is also connected to another project to form a new entrance and retail outlets and shared a party wall, with the works for both schemes running concurrently. 

The 26,000sq ft new building was located at a critical junction on the hospital site road and immediately outside the main entrance to the hospital. The new building was connected to the new retail scheme and existing structure of the hospital via the existing main entrance. 

The logistics of the ICU scheme was considerable, given its adjacency to another major project and at the main entrance of the hospital and required extensive logistics planning and temporary works. 

The foundations included vibro stone columns and concrete foundations, drainage and services were formed on site, with the new building manufactured concurrently in advance using off-site volumetric construction techniques.
