Willmott Dixon to deliver £11 m refurb at Royal Sussex
Willmott Dixon Interiors is to deliver the next phase of a £11 m refurbishment at Brighton’s Royal Sussex County Hospital through SCAPE – one of the UK’s leading public sector procurement framework providers. It is set to commence
works on the next stage of a project to expand and refresh A&E facilities at the hospital, revamping facilities in the Millennium Wing on behalf of University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust. The project is an acute floor expansion, which will provide modern healthcare facilities and significantly increase capacity to support critical patients in the Emergency Department. Willmott Dixon Interiors will manage the removal of all existing internal walls, ceilings, and flooring, and a full MEP strip-out and replacement. The scope of the works also include furniture, fixtures and equipment, and decoration. Roger Forsdyke, Chief Operations
Officer at Willmott Dixon Interiors, said: “Over recent years, we’ve enhanced
Morgan Sindall to deliver ‘ED’ extension at The Grange
multiple healthcare environments on behalf of UHSussex. We’re proud to continue our successful partnership with the Trust, and to deliver facilities at Royal Sussex County Hospital that will improve services, increase capacity, and enhance the experience for staff and patients.” Willmott Dixon Interiors has
successfully delivered several construction projects on behalf of UHSussex. Recent examples include a £7.5 m modular refurbishment at Princess Royal Hospital, Haywards Heath, and a children’s audiology testing centre at the Royal Alexandra Children’s Hospital, Brighton.
Johnson Controls says its new Johnson Controls Digital Enrollment mobile application is the fire detection industry’s first mobile app of its kind for auto-addressing fire detection and alarm devices.
It explained: “By simply scanning and downloading data via a QR code located on each addressable device, the app provides an
addressing solution that helps eliminate errors, and is faster than traditional methods, with no special tools required.”
The app lets users install and configure addressable fire detection devices like point detectors, notification devices, call points, and ancillaries offered under the Johnson Controls brands, including FireClass and Zettler. Martin Schulte- Frankenfeld, Senior director of Product Management, Fire Detection, said: “The
22 Health Estate Journal September 2024
Fire detection industry ‘first’ introduced Digital Enrollment app
gives teams a tool that makes fire detection system installation and configuration quicker, easier, and more reliable, than previous methods, right from their smartphones or tablets.” Users have two workflow options for completing a new fire alarm system installation – the recommended one being to create a
device list on the mobile app and ‘sync’ it using the panel configuration tool. Alternatively, installers can download the device list from the configuration tool and sync that list with the serial numbers using the mobile app.
Each device’s QR code contains a serial number, SKU (part number) code, model number, and manufacturing date. The QR codes also provide access to product-specific data such as technical publications, certificates, pricing, and ordering info.
Morgan Sindall Construction’s Cardiff team has been appointed by the NHS to deliver an extension to The Grange University Hospital’s Emergency Department (ED) in Cwmbran, near Newport. The project was procured via the SCAPE National Construction Framework, and the team has started on site, with the phased work set to complete in April 2025. Additions to the pre-existing facilities include a three-storey building with a ground floor ED triage area. The remaining floors will continue as open plan. In addition to the extension, the Tier One contractor will deliver refurbishment works in the current Emergency Department waiting and triage rooms to meet modern standards. The project is being designed and managed by Gleeds in conjunction with the Aneurin Bevan University Health Board, with the former involving Morgan Sindall at RIBA Stage Four. Early engagement and consultation via the SCAPE framework resulted in a quick eight-month consultation turnaround. Throughout the construction,
Morgan Sindall will use its in-house carbon mapping software, CarboniCa, to track and reduce carbon emissions on site. Its team will also install photovoltaic (PV) solar panels on both the new building and the roof of the current hospital buildings. In line with Morgan Sindall and SCAPE’s commitment to environmental and social value, the project will look to incorporate 20 apprenticeship weeks, two weeks of work placements, and 24 hours spent in schools at careers events. Additionally, it is set to directly employ three local work starters. As part of its green transport initiative, Morgan Sindall will encourage its staff and supply chain to use low-emission transport to and from site.
