NG Bailey’s Engineering division has been awarded a second contract to support the ongoing expansion of NHS Golden Jubilee in Clydebank, Scotland.
The £15 million contract has been appointed by the principal contractor Kier Regional Building Services – Scotland, to support the Hospital’s expansion plan.
During 2020, the independent engineering services provider delivered the mechanical, electrical and plumbing installations (MEP) for phase one of the expansion, a new six-theatre eye centre which began receiving patients in November 2020.
Work on the second phase of the National Treatment Centre is already underway and is expected to be completed by June 2023.
A team of NG Bailey engineers, including apprentices, will be on site to support the delivery of the new three-storey development which will include theatre suites, orthopaedic amenities, outpatient and pre-operative spaces, a surgical admissions and recovery unit, a central sterilising and processing department and a new endoscopy unit.
Modern methods of construction are being widely used across the project and many of the service installations, including heavy duty service modules, plant room skids and plant room frames are being manufactured at NG Bailey’s specialist Offsite Manufacture facility.
The building will also feature a range of energy saving measures including high efficiency heating, cooling and ventilation systems, presence-controlled lighting systems, and a heat recovery system serving the operating theatres.
Patrick Morrison, Healthcare Sector Director at NG Bailey said: “We are delighted to be working with Kier again to deliver this important project which brings further enhancements to patient care in the region.
“We have extensive experience delivering healthcare projects across the UK, working in live hospital sites where maintaining on-going patient services is vital. We’ve designed our solutions to embrace modern methods of construction as this accelerates the delivery of our programme, reduces the carbon impact of the works and minimises disruption by reducing the number of deliveries required.”
Chris Wilson, Senior Project Manager at Kier commented: “Following the successful completion of the Phase 1 expansion project, it was an easy choice for Kier to build on the collaborative partnership formed with NG Bailey during these works and continue to utilise their expertise for the Phase 2 works.”
