Modular construction company Darwin Group<\/a> will deliver a new Covid-19 facility at University Hospital of Wales<\/a> (UHW) in Cardiff<\/h2>\n

Darwin Group will deliver the new Lakeside Wing at University Hospital of Wales (UHW) in Cardiff as part of a \u00a333m project led by the Cardiff and Vale University Health Board (CAVUHB).<\/p>\n

Following confirmation of funding support by the Welsh Government, the company will deliver a temporary surge facility to ensure sufficient capacity for patients in the event of a second spike in Covid-19 cases.<\/p>\n

The temporary U-shaped modular building<\/a> will be located at the area outside of Lakeside at UHW.<\/p>\n

The Covid-19 facility will accommodate up to 400 beds \u2013 which is in addition to 200 beds that have already been developed across CAVUHB\u2019s sites.<\/p>\n

\u2018Delivering quality builds\u2019<\/h3>\n

Charles Pierce, managing director at Darwin Group, said: \u201cWe are fully aware of the impact and importance of this facility, and how crucial it could be for the potential Covid-19 patients it may aid.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur team is experienced in working on a variety of projects and considerate of every client\u2019s unique situation and needs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re a proud British company<\/a>, always ready to help a local community, and we’re delighted to be appointed by the Health Board to deliver the Lakeside Wing for both the people of Cardiff and wider South Wales.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe live in uncertain times and we understand the need to act quickly at a time when it is needed most.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur team is experienced in delivering quality builds under tight time constraints and will that the delivery and installation of this project is completed smoothly and with minimal disruption.\u201d<\/p>\n

Geoff Walsh, director of capital, estates and facilities at Cardiff and Vale University Health Board, added: \u201cWe\u2019re pleased to be working with Darwin Group on providing this temporary surge facility<\/a> as part of the Health Board\u2019s rapid and considered response to a second potential spike in the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough construction is moving at pace and we\u2019re working to a tight schedule, every decision is made with our patients\u2019 and staff members\u2019 safety in mind.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe anticipate no services, patient clinics or appointments will be affected by construction. If there are any temporary disruptions, we will communicate these in advance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Work is already underway on the Lakeside Wing at UHW, with Darwin Group on-track to deliver the Northern wing of the building as early as 25 November 2020.<\/p>\n

Following the completion of the Southern wing of the short-term surge facility, Darwin Group expects to hand over the keys to UHW for the entire modular building<\/a> by early February 2021.<\/p>\n
