Totty Construction, the northern-based main contractor, has been awarded the final phase of the high profile Brewery Wharf residential development, by Barratt Leeds.
The contractor will adopt highly flexible working practices at the busy hospital, liaising closely with staff and carefully timing the works programme to minimise any potential disruption throughout the project.
Existing consultation and treatment rooms will be stripped out, the space reconfigured and a range of new treatment rooms constructed.
On completion of this phase, staff will take possession of these new facilities, with ISG then commencing work on the newly vacated areas within the remaining AandE department.
Accessibility is a key issue on site, with initial phases demanding the creation of a robust access policy to ensure the safe and effective movement of materials and operatives via a busy internal main corridor.
Mechanical and electrical services will be replaced throughout the new ECC, with specialist flooring and suspended ceilings installed.
Phase two of the project sees the creation of treatment rooms, a staff room, offices and a family room.
The final phase sees ISG create a high specification resuscitation suite, additional offices, file store and security room.
Initial enabling work will commence at the end of January, with the main construction programme starting at the end of March 2008, with completion scheduled for February 2009.
Paul Clarkson, regional construction director at ISG Totty Building, commented: "Working for emergency services, within live environments always presents a range of complex challenges for contractors, and our latest scheme at Diana, Princess of Wales Hospital is a text book example".
"Maintaining continuity of operations is fundamental for the existing AandE department and our phased programme has been carefully developed in conjunction with the hospital to ensure that we have minimal impact on the day to day operations of the facility, whilst providing the optimum construction solution.".
