The £172m Ysbyty Ystrad Fawr in the Rhymney Valley will be the first UK hospital providing single rooms for every patient, and will be one of a generation of new facilities serving the Valley regions of Wales. The 255-bed hospital is designed to replace all hospitals in the area.
The project is expected to be completed by the autumn of 2011 and Priority1 will be used for managing the quality of subcontractors’ work.
This is our first project with Miller Group, a £1billion turnover company based in Edinburgh, with interests in residential house building, commercial and public sector construction.
They are using P1+ for managing quality on the three storeys Scottish Centre for Regenerative Medicine (SCRM), which will be the signature building of the Edinburgh BioQuarter and will bring together 250 academic researchers.
The new £200m MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology (BAM’s largest UK project) will be located on the edge of the current hospital site, on the expanding Cambridge Biomedical Campus. In overall shape it consists of two kinked laboratory blocks joined by a central atrium, in a shape reminiscent of a chromosome (albeit a strange dicentric one).
This is BAM’s first Priority1+ project and the team will use it for process management and forms as well as quality tasks.
A new hospital is being built adjacent to the current site to replace the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and Selly Oak Hospital. Services from Selly Oak hospital will move in on a date in June 2010, and services from the current Queen Elizabeth Hospital will move in in November 2010.
The Balfour Beatty Quality Team are using Priority1 to progressively validate and handover the 6000 hospital rooms.
