Northampton Mental Health Hospital PFI
Bliss Brickwork are delighted to announce that we have recently secured the masonry subcontract package for the construction of the new Northampton Mental Health Hospital, for main contractor Balfour Beatty.
Construction began on the 26 November 2007 and is scheduled to be completed by May 2010. The hospital will be built in two phases. The new units for adults will be built first and are due to be ready by 1 December 2008. Once these are occupied the remaining Pendered buildings can be demolished and the second phase will start. This will include the new facilities moving from Princess Marina Hospital.
The new hospital will cost around 35 million pounds to build, with the scheme is being financed through the Government's Private Finance Initiative.
The new hospital will provide 135 beds - all in single rooms with en-suite facilities, along with many other care facilities such as Physiotherapy rooms, Occupational therapy rooms, a Pharmacy etc
Subcontract works started after Easter and will continue into 2009. |
