In August 2003 ModuleCo Ltd (formerly PKL Healthcare) completed one of its largest single schemes to date. The 2-storey, 4,100m2 facility at South and Formby District General Hospital combined a theatre, wards and offices. It was linked to the main hospital building via a purpose built corridor with the large open-plan administrative area on the ground floor, and an orthopaedic theatre supported by two 28-bed wards on the first floor.
Taking full advantage of the benefits of off-site construction for healthcare facilities, the unit was handed over to the client in a number of phases with the theatre and one of the wards handed over in just 16 weeks! The overall programme for completion totalled 30 weeks.
Three years on the building is still being used to it's full potential and has proved a complete success. ModuleCo has provided a further 50 projects since that time meaning it's portfolio contains over 60 successfully completed specialist healthcare facilities to date, more than any other modular healthcare provider in the UK.

ModuleCo Ltd Build Modular Mortuary Facility
At the beginning of this year, ModuleCo (formerly PKL Healthcare) completed their first modular mortuary project. The 380m2 facility is on hire for 1-year to Hull City Council providing temporary accommodation whilst the permanent mortuary is relocated. The design, installation and commissioning was completed in just 11-weeks with the prime equipment being transferred from the existing mortuary over a weekend, keeping the disruption of service to a minimum.
The new temporary mortuary includes refrigerated storage for 28 bodies and forensic storage for 8. The autopsy room has 5 autopsy tables and an isolation autopsy area. These areas are supported by offices, public viewing area, and staff facilities.
The mortuary manager commented: "We have moved into a temporary mortuary facility designed and built by ModuleCo. As the manager of this facility, I have no hesitation in complimenting ModuleCo on a job well done."
