Modular & Volumetric MTX deliver a fantastic project to Northwick Park Hospital In December 2014 MTX were awarded the contract to design, install and commission a new five storey modular extension for London North West Healthcare NHS Trust. Northwick Park Hospital required a new modular development to provide acute ward accommodation for 48 bed spaces along with 15 bed isolation wards and ancillary rooms. This was to be housed over 5 storeys of modular accommodation including a curtain glazed main entrance and top floor plant room. The main building was to be built on a transfer structure to allow continued movement at ground floor of the ambulances serving the new facility. The new modular wards were to be positioned in a tight space between the hospital’s existing operating theatre suites and emergency department. One of the key priorities for the new ward was a good connection to the existing emergency department. This connection was provided by a main link corridor approximately 50 metres in length along with an open plan link area. The main accommodation was split over 3 floors with a 24 bed design to Level 3 and Level 4. Level 5 is a state of the art isolation ward with 15 isolation rooms including positive pressure lobbies. Each floor is served by 2 lifts with the lift lobbies being designed with graphic designed décor stating the name of each floor; Crick, Darwin and Elgar. Repeatable room designs were utilised throughout the floors with 4 bed multi wards, single bedroom accommodation and standardised isolation rooms. Each floor was served with a modern designed reception area including a curved desk, feature decoration and TV displays. Touchdown staff bases were also incorporated into the layout design giving nurses and clinicians an excellent observation point over the wards. All floors were designed and installed to achieve the response factor required by HTM for night ward accommodation using a hollow rib deck construction infilled with reinforced concrete. Internal finishes were of a high standard throughout with all doors to the isolation ward being fully encapsulated. The external finish of the building was a Formica Vivix Rainscreen cladding with the plant room having a contrasting louvered screen. Within the top floor plant room is a large amount of specialist equipment including 17 no. air handling units, IPS and UPS equipment and chiller plant. Each isolation room is served by its own air handling unit to comply with the stringent regulations. These rooms are also monitored by pressure alarms. Sustainable renewable technologies were also incorporated within the building infrastructure along with smart technology LED lighting. The module installation had to be planned months in advance with the Trust to ensure logistics and careful co-ordination with all elements of the restricted site space and location. Throughout the lifting operation of all 105 modules the main one way ring road around the hospital along with the blue light route were not disrupted and maintained clear at all times. MTX commenced on site in February 2015 with a site set up and site strip works. The module installation was completed in July 2015 with the Trust taking full occupational use of the building in early January 2016. The project on a whole was completed in just 49 weeks. “MTX delivered a great building and enables the Trust to make use of 63 beds within 11 months. The facility is sandwiched between a 24 hour A&E department and theatre complex and works were undertaken around such crucial clinical services, it really demonstrated careful logistical planning and commitment by the team which was most reassuring.” – Muhammad Syed Head of Capital Projects for London North West Healthcare NHS Trust. www.mtxcontracts.co.uk 20 MMC Nov 2016 M2
