The Trust identified the need for a new 2-storey, 2,600m2 development to modernise facilities and enable endoscope procedures to take place in one facility, in order to deliver an increased patient throughput of 48%.
The state-of-the-art facility, delivered using MMC, comprises 56 building modules installed over a tight 10 day period and incorporates ground breaking Carbon and Energy efficiency reduction plans contributing to the Trusts Net Zero policy targets, and achieving BREEAM Very Good.
Collaborative early contractor engagement (ECI) and the use of digital technology and simulations using BIM Level 2, increased the efficiency and accuracy during the design process and resulted in savings for the whole life of the facility.
Viewed as a “digital flagship” and the future of hospital estates, patients and clinicians benefit from Smart technology including, interactive information screens, digital tracking systems, touch screens, room sensors and Live Rooms setting.
Feedback from users of the building have noted the Endoscopy unit is clean and bright, and so very comfortable with superb facilities. The project showcases the benefits of collaborating with specialist supply chains for a live clinical facility. Excellent on-site management by MTX to manage and deliver the modules via crane to their on-site location.
