PROJECT
QUALITY IMPROVEMENT AND INNOVATION CENTRE, NEWTOWNARDS HOSPITAL
large, connecting steel structure. With both phases brought up to the same level, the two flat roofs were covered simultaneously. Painting then commenced throughout the building along with the installation of all fixtures and fittings. The main hall is part of an existing building which was ‘live’ throughout the works and involved tying in all services, mechanical, electrical, fire alarm and intruder alarm. “Any time we were changing over systems, such as the heating, we had to request shut downs,” said Jordan. “These required early morning starts, weekend and out-of-hours work to ensure services were not disrupted in the busy, live section of the building.” Attention to detail was paramount to deliver a high standard of finish as required by the client. New wall panelling was installed to meet up with the existing panelling in the older part of the building.
“This required lining the whole perimeter – about 80m – with timber batons to install the new panelling, which all needed to be perfectly plumb.” Further landscaping work included perimeter timber fencing, soil regrading and grass reseeding, shrub planting and tarmacking. Commenting on the completed project, Jordan described it as an important addition to the firm’s portfolio. “This was a significant project for the team, completed to a high level of finish,” he said. “We spent a lot of time towards the end, to ensure a top notch finish was achieved to reflect the striking design. The new part of the building ties in well to the existing section. “We’ve taken an older building and brought it right up to date with a modern extension. We are very proud of it.”
