P21 New Wards at St Martin’s Hospital, Canterbury Progressing Well
17th February 2012 | Posted in: Healthcare, Project Management, Baqus News, Industry News
BAQUS Construction Consultancy is providing P21 Project Management, Supervisor and Project Administration Services at the £10 million new St Martin’s Hospital Younger Adult Inpatient Accommodation comprising 2 x 18 bed wards and associated accommodation for Kent & Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust (KMPT).
BAQUS is working in partnership with Pick Everard as part of their integrated team under the Buying Solutions Supplier Framework with KMPT. The Project is being delivered using the P21 Procurement Route.
A BREEAM Design Stage rating of ‘Excellent’ has been achieved and a further ‘Excellent’ rating is being aimed for at Post Completion – a challenging aim in a mental health environment. In addition, Kier Health has achieved ‘a very good site’ assessment by the Considerate Constructors Scheme, reflecting a very well managed site.
The project is being carried out on a live hospital site, with the minimum of disruption to existing services and close collaboration with neighbouring interests.
The recent spell of high winds followed by freezing conditions has placed pressures on the construction programme and whole team collaboration is helping to mitigate the impact.
BAQUS Construction Consultancy has provided Project Management services for part Phase 3 works, Phase 4 construction works and KMPT procured items essential for the project, as well as the implementation of a change in the service model.
The construction work is due for completion at the end of September 2012 with the wards operational by early November 2012.
