Using the latest techniques in off-site construction, ModuleCo (formerly PKL Healthcare) is able to deliver complex projects within tight timescales and often in very congested areas and restricted locations.
The nature of modular construction enables us to provide innovative solutions in terms of usage of space by positioning healthcare facilities in many challenging locations such as over rooftops, on steel gantry support structures and in enclosed courtyards.
One such facility, which was recently handed over to Birmingham Women’s Hospital, was a twin-theatre and two-bed recovery facility. The facility was designed to fit exactly within an existing courtyard area within the hospital. The project took full advantage of the benefits of off-site construction and the majority of the internal fit-out of the units was completed in the factory.
The installation of the Pre-Assembled Units required a 500 tonne crane with a lifting distance of 80m. The path of units in the air was very specific whilst the installation was taking place, as the units could not be lifted over surrounding occupied buildings for safety reasons but also to minimise disruption to the surrounding site. This allowed the twin-theatre and recovery facility to be up and running within 5 weeks of installation on site, keeping disruption to the surrounding neonatal unit to an absolute minimum.
