Catheter Laboratories at Liverpool Heart & Chest Hospital (LHCH) has been refurbished by Tilbury Douglas, delivered over the last three years
Tilbury Douglas was responsible for the construction of the new building at Catheter Laboratories, as well as the refurbishment of laboratories and consultation rooms.
The work was delivered in three stages in a live environment over a three-year programme and three phases.
This included the removal of a main LV switchboard and the diversion of supplies whilst maintaining the services to the hospital.
Benefiting 2.8m people through health and social value
LHCH provides specialist services in cardiothoracic surgery, cardiology, respiratory medicine and diagnostic imaging serving a catchment area of 2.8m people, spanning Merseyside, Cheshire, North Wales and the Isle of Man.
The construction team continue to maintain a presence on site using its volunteering time and £12k donation in kind to transform an underused courtyard into a respite garden to help alleviate stress among hospital staff, patients and visitors.
This social value activity is contributing to the team’s social value return on investment of £6.9m.
Work on the Catheter Laboratories continues Tilbury Douglas’ history of healthcare successes
Phil Shaw, divisional director at Tilbury Douglas, said: “The delivery of this complex project is a testament to Tilbury Douglas’ capabilities and expertise in delivering first class healthcare facilities across the UK. The project was delivered in a live environment working in collaboration with the Trust and equipment provider Philips.
“Through early engagement we identified and managed the specific requirements for temporary service provisions between each phase, this ensured the works were planned accordingly with no impact on day-to-day operations for the Trust. This was achieved in line with the equipment procurement and installation programme.”
