Morgan Sindall Construction<\/a> is set to deliver major refurbishment works at James Paget University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust using Modern Methods of Construction (MMC)<\/h2>\n

James Paget University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust has appointed Morgan Sindall Construction as the primary contractor for two major extension and refurbishment schemes totalling \u00a33.8m.<\/p>\n

The projects, which are being delivered as part of wider plans to improve the hospital\u2019s facilities<\/a>, will provide an upgrade and extension to the accident and emergency department as well as the construction of a new bespoke MRI unit.<\/p>\n

The first scheme of works was handed over in December, and includes a partial redevelopment of the hospital\u2019s A&E facilities, including a brand new 14-bed Majors department, four nurse stations, a staff office, utility and equipment storage rooms, along with a new plant room, incorporating a new ambulance entry and paediatric A&E area within the existing lobby.<\/p>\n

The team will also construct a new cohort area within the department, where patients brought in by ambulance will wait to be assessed, providing appropriate equipment, facilities and privacy to ensure a first-class standard of care is felt from the moment they enter the hospital.<\/p>\n

The second project, which broke ground this month, will see the construction of a brand new \u00a31m MRI facility to the north side of the hospital, including a link corridor to the existing hospital building<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Both schemes are utilising modular construction methods to construct the new units offsite at subcontractor Eco Modular\u2019s<\/a> factory.<\/p>\n

\u2018Keep vulnerable people safe\u2019<\/h3>\n

Alister Broadberry, area director at Morgan Sindall Construction in the east, said: \u201cWe are delighted to be appointed to undertake both of these important projects that will continue to help the staff at James Paget University Hospital carry out their incredible job of saving lives, and provide a benefit to the wider community.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe use of the modular units will help not only to complete the projects with as minimal disruption to the hospital as possible, but also to keep vulnerable people safe during the pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cMorgan Sindall Construction has enjoyed a long-standing working relationship with the James Paget University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and we are looking forward to working with the Trust to strengthen this.\u201d<\/p>\n
