RVH Phase 2B - Critical Care Building

FK Lowry Piling is delivering the foundations for the £100million Royal Victoria Hospital development as part of a major capital programme to improve health provision across Northern Ireland.

In Phase 2B, McLaughlin & Harvey has been commissioned by the Royal Group of Hospitals to construct a £100 million 13-storey critical care unit on a brown field site adjacent to the existing accident and emergency (A&E) department and outpatient facilities. Once completed, the new unit - which will have a two-storey basement, and a helipad – will incorporate all A&E services and will be capable of treating up to 80,000 attendances each year.

Construction work began in summer 2007 with site clearance work and piling and basement preparations and is expected to be completed in late 2011.

FKL is specialist sub-contactor for the £3.5 million foundation package which involves a range of piling techniques in addition to soil nailing, rock bolting and spraying concrete facades. The work is being delivered over three separate contracts for the advanced works, enabling works and main works.

All partners involved in the RVH project have given a commitment to take positive steps to reduce the environmental impact of the scheme and to minimise disruption to patients, staff and residents. This includes elimination of pollution, reduction of waste materials and monitoring of noise and dust.
