Tilbury Douglas was appointed to deliver the Catheter Laboratories at Liverpool Heart & Chest Hospital (LHCH). LHCH provides specialist services in cardiothoracic surgery, cardiology, respiratory medicine and diagnostic imaging serving a catchment area of 2.8 million people, spanning Merseyside, Cheshire, North Wales and the Isle of Man.
We were responsible for the construction of the new building and the refurbishment of laboratories and consultation rooms. The work was delivered in three stages in a live environment over a three year programme and three phases.
The project was delivered in a live environment working in collaboration with the Trust and equipment provider Philips.
Through early engagement, we identified and managed the specific requirements for temporary service provisions between each phase, this ensured the works were planned accordingly with no impact on day-to-day operations for the Trust and achieved/aligned with the equipment procurement and installation programme.
