Challenges and solutions
Tilbury Douglas delivered this vital project within the confines of a live Emergency Department treating critically ill patients with demolition and refurbishment undertaken below the live operating theatres.
We completed the construction, services integration, isolations to the wider hospital and medical gases break-ins without impacting access for blue lights and the helipad.
Added value
The project was delivered within budget, accident free and with a social value return on investment of £5.1m for the local community.
Efficiencies created:
- Ambulance turnaround time reduced from 38 minutes to 22 minutes
- Department efficiency increased by 15%
