Client: St James’s Hospital Project: Intensive Care Units Size: 200 sq metres Requirement: Roan Building Systems were awarded the design & build contract for the construction of six single bedroom ICU/ HDU’s, Ancillary Accommodation & Support Facilities. As main contractor Roan Building Systems were also responsible for PSCS & PSDP. This complex project was phased over four stages to minimize disruption to critical hospital areas.

Solution:

Phase 1: The construction of two new single ICU bedrooms within the hospital Intensive Care Ward, fully compliant with Health Building Note (H.B.N) 57 Infection control is a critical issue when working in a live hospital environment, all site personnel were required to adhere to Roan Building Systems strict infection control policy.

Phase 2: Design & build of a new 200sq mtr Anaesthetists Department annexed to the existing Intensive Care Ward. This new modular building was constructed off-site & craned into position on the roof of existing hospital. The lift & installation was completed in one day & was clad to blend in seamlessly with the main hospital. As infection control measure the link between the new department & the main Intensive Care Ward corridor was not broken through until the modular building was complete.

Phase 3: Design & build of a new 500sq mtr 3 storey modular building to house the following:Ground Floor: Plant Room c/w UPS & air systems for new ICUs, Loading Bay c/w lift, Female & Male Changing Facilities First Floor: Clinical Store, Consultant Rooms, Seminar Room, Pantry & link to main Intensive Care Ward corridor.Second Floor: Triage, Consultant Rooms, Restrooms & Kitchenette.

This new modular building was constructed off-site & craned into position in an internal hospital courtyard. The lift & installation was completed in one day & was clad to blend in seamlessly with the main hospital. As infection control measure the link between the new department & the main Intensive Care Ward corridor was not broken through until the modular building was complete.

Phase 4: Once the two modular buildings were operational, Roan Building Systems then commenced work on the construction of four new single ICU bedrooms within the hospital Intensive Care Ward. Infection control is a critical issue when working in a live hospital environment, all site personnel were required to adhere to Roan Building Systems strict infection control policy.

Innovative Solutions: The complete off-site fitout of the Anaesthetists Department, the courtyard building & two new plant rooms c/w UPS & air systems for new ICUs expedited the programme time greatly. The off-site construction of these buildings also greatly reduced the health & safety risk:
- Significantly reduces the number of vehicle movements on site
- Greatly reduced the threat of aspergillious by reducing the onsite construction element
- Reduced working at height requirements
