St Helier Hospital Fabric Upgrade
Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust
The Numbers
- £12.0m external fabric upgrade
- 18 month construction programme
- Completion forecast February 2019
- 7 storey building
- 15,700m3 of scaffolding
- 98% waste recycled, 2% waste to energy
Operations
The work is noisy and disruptive and we have had to work both externally and internally to public and ward areas, all of which we have managed close collaboration with the Trust's estates and clinical staff.
Finance
Breathe had to deal with the liquidation of the main contractor during the works, but managed to contract with the suppliers to keep the works on time and budget.
Compliance
Breathe has carried out structural repairs, external wall insulation and windows, helping to address the building fabric failings identified in the Trust's Care Quality Commission report (May 2016).
Wellness
The external wall insulation and window upgrades that are replacing old single glazed steel windows will provide significant thermal benefit for the patients and staff in the hospital.
The Works
- Scaffolding upto 7 storeys
- Structural repairs
- External wall insulation
- Replacement roof covering
- Replacement windows and curtain walling
