After
task
In just 107 record-breaking days, this site was ready to receive patients, and can now accommodate up to 400 beds. Everyone involved did an excellent job of installing this large-scale building on a constrained site at the heart of a major hospital.
approach
A base colour of Rockpanel finished in anthracite is punctuated with pops of red, cream and orange in varying rectangular shapes to accentuate corners, columns and other features as well as breaking up the larger expanses to add visual interest and underline the clarity of the structure’s design.
solution
The project ran 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with the main aim of finishing as quickly as possible and allowing no disruption to patients or clinical operations elsewhere on the busy hospital site. The project was completed in a record-breaking timeframe. This was made possible with our whole supply chain utilizing a just-in-time production and delivery strategy. The client is very pleased with the completed project and we are proud to have been involved in the creation of such an important resource that can be utilised for years to come.
