Terrapin constructed a 3 storey building for Broomfield hospital in Chelmsford, providing 9000 sq m of additional space. The building comprises of a 150 bed ward block with space for a further 50 beds, ophthalmology department, diabetic centre, out-patients department, community care, occupational health, staff training facilities and a microbiology unit.
The steel frame building was pre-engineered in our Milton Keynes factory, and installed on-site with a complete fit out, including landscaping of the grounds.
Off-site construction is ideal for hospital expansion and building works, as it assures minimal disturbance on site, a fast track programme, predictability in design, quality and performance, and allows flexibility in design to suit the unique requirements of the healthcare sector.
Norman Bruce, Director of Estate and Facilities at Broomfield was pleased with Terrapin's fast track construction: "Thanks for Terrapin's performance in delivering the first ward on time...the significant contribution of your staff has been noted at the highest level."
