NICU EXPANSION, ST THOMAS’ HOSPITAL Case Studies
This project was one of the early phases of the Evelina Children’s Hospital Phase 1 Expansion programme.
Whilst modest in capital value at just £1.7m, the project involved many complex challenges to the stakeholders and our Project Management Team:
• Reconfiguration within an existing fully operational Neonatal Intensive Care Unit to provide additional capacity within a confined space • The need to fully mitigate the impact of the works on existing clinical capacity, i.e. ensuring ‘business as usual’ • Redesigning the infrastructure to cope with the expansion • Limitations on access for pre-commencement surveys due to the presence of asbestos • The subsequent identification and removal of asbestos • Managing a complex stakeholder group Careful planning, a robust communications plan with stakeholders and contractor, the establishment of strong working relationship and shared objectives across the Project Team and participants all contributed to the successful delivery of the project.
