New Health Centre, Lauder Client: Morrison Construction/ South East Hub
Mastin Moor Care Centre, Chesterfield Client: Turning Point Building Futures
The new health centre has a two storey and a single storey element wrapping around three sides. Internally the centre is zoned into staff areas, patient areas and public spaces. The double height waiting space brings natural light into the middle of the building. The administrative areas have been positioned so they can view the entrance, waiting area and corridors. The medical and consulting spaces are on the south of the building due to their requirement for natural daylight, while the service spaces are on the west, where due to the proximity of the boundary the openings in the external wall were limited.
Mastin moor is a secure facility for the rehabilitation of people with complex mental health needs, personality disorders or learning disabilities. The scheme provides for 2 separate adjoining blocks for female and male patients, utilising the natural slope of the site to define the areas. The two blocks provide a 14 bed female facility and 14 bed male facility with independent living quarters.

Sunderland Royal Hospital Car Park Client: City Hospitals Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust The programme involved service diversion works on an existing open car park to enable a proposed multi storey to be built. The existing car park generally consisted of tarmac overlying 200mm of stone and clay. A new ducting system and duct boxes were installed outside of the building line of the proposed multi

Health Centre, Jedburgh
£1,686,000 Client: City Hospitals Sunderland NHS Trust
The refurbishment and extension was completed to this existing town centre medical practice and comprised a single storey extension with timber frame with slate and stone exterior. The project comprised the refurbishment of and a new build extension to an existing Primary Care Health Centre. The project incorporated sectional completion to enable the maximum ongoing operation of the medical practice throughout the construction phase. Delivery of the works required careful and ongoing communication and liaison with staff and customers to minimise disruption and maintain maximum safety. The new build extension was traditionally constructed with render finish complimented by feature ashlar stonework, rainscreen cladding and structural glass canopy. The refurbishment included alterations and remodelling of the existing layouts together with upgrading of mechanical and electrical systems and new finishes throughout. The extended and upgraded facility provides approximately 950m² of treatment rooms, offices, patient reception areas and ancillary accommodation. The works included both the removal of and containment of areas of asbestos by our own operatives and specialist sub contractors.
Key Issues and How They Were Managed The medical practice remained operational throughout and to facilitate this, weekly meetings were held with the practice management and contact maintained with the immediate neighbours. Our progress details were reported regularly on a notice board located within the medical centre accessible to all parties. The site was very restricted with road frontage on two sides and adjacent to an office building. Pedestrian access maintained throughout the project with barriers and fencing creating dedicated access and egress routes. Site parking was limited to the unloading of deliveries only to prevent disruption to the practice, road users and the adjacent office. As relic foundations were identified on the site an archaeologist was involved with the “watching brief” and the foundation protected throughout our works. Temporary partitions were used to separate the working areas from the operational public areas. The partitions were solid to reduce the noise and dust within the operational areas. Partial handovers took place as works progressed and we provided assistance with the moves. As entrances were changed throughout the project to ensure access and emergency access at all times we constructed a temporary step and disabled ramp for staff and medical practice users.

Noisy activities were restricted during practice opening hours wherever possible and dust extraction used to prevent dust within the operational areas. A separate cutting area within the compound was established to restrict the spread of dust further. Successful Outcomes Partial on site segregation was carried out with relation to waste and all waste was recycled by specialists. Recycled materials were used on site for the sub base and site energy was taken through a metered supply and wastage avoided by switching off lights, machinery, heaters and closing the doors to retain the heat. The majority of the labour and subcontractors on site were local to the site including the local timber supplier. This reduced the carbon footprint of the project whilst aiding the local economy. The timber supplier was also chosen as all timber was sourced from FSC certified suppliers. Regular visits from the Company safety officer took place to ensure all correct procedures were in place and the site was compliant with legislation. Segregated access to the site was established through the erection of fencing and clear signage to prevent unauthorised access. The working areas and all stored materials were secured by heras fencing which was locked overnight and the signing in and out of the compound was strictly adhered to with all visitors being escorted around
the site. A site specific induction covered all aspects of behavior and the special needs of working within occupied premises and was compulsory for all staff, subcontractors and visitors to the site. Training opportunities were provided including a work placement for one student from a local school and four apprentices who were employed continuously on this project.
