This project will provide great new facilities for patients and be an exemplar of sustainability
winning the contract in May 2009, work soon began on the installation and commissioning of the mechanical, electrical, public health and ICT services. NG Bailey’s operations director, Tim Cunningham,
comments: ‘NG Bailey has extensive experience in the design and delivery of major healthcare projects and recently completed Basildon CTC and St Helens & Whiston CTC. Our differentiators include our technical expertise, offsite manufacturing capability and partnering approach. We are delighted to be able to our bring our experience, qualities and values to our work at GOSH.’
Off site GOSH is committed to a green agenda and has created a strong, sustainable vision for the whole redevelopment programme. It has conveyed this to all partners throughout each procurement stage, and has a policy of partnership and best practice with suppliers so that they can use their technical expertise to bring its vision to life. Cunningham explains: ‘Our approach was to
appoint an experienced team who engaged with the client and design team to develop a robust design that met the employer’s requirements. We adopt an open and collaborative approach to design, planning and construction to ensure delivery to schedule, while avoiding any nasty surprises.’ One important element of NG Bailey’s work has
involved the use of its specialist off-site division, which has manufactured more than 100 prefabricated corridor modules and electrical risers. Off-site manufacturing is just one element that adds to the project’s sustainability credentials, as it drives environmental efficiency through reduced on-site waste and reduced transport emissions. The project’s design also incorporates systems and
services that will reduce the overall energy output of the building, either by using less, or where possible reusing it. The technologies that will be applied include a combined cooling, heat and power plant (CHP), cooling towers to provide low-grade cooling water to the building in winter months, and air handling equipment designed to maximise heat reclaim and use low-grade heat sources from the CHP and cooling towers.
Environmentally friendly It is claimed that the Morgan Stanley Clinical Building is the greenest hospital building constructed in London to date, and the project team spent many hours discussing how it could incorporate as many carbon-reduction features as possible. All this effort was worthwhile as, not only is the
hospital on target to achieve the 15 per cent reduction in emissions planned by 2012, the redevelopment programme has set a further target of 120 per cent carbon reduction and a 60 per cent renewable contribution from the two new buildings by 2016. The 120 per cent carbon reduction means that the Mittal Children’s Medical Centre will create all of its own energy as well as supplying energy to other parts of the site using, when they become available, biofuels to achieve this. The Phase 2 buildings will generate energy on site,
