Managing construction

During construction, we will have a 24/7 point of contact, displayed around the construction site, to ensure that residents and patients can get in touch with any queries relating to the works.

The construction will create employment opportunities for the local area.

We will use a satellite-controlled vehicle management system which means that construction vehicles only access the site when required and when there is space. This ensures that any traffic accessing the site causes minimal disruption to local roads. Construction vehicles will also use a haul road through the site that is completely separate from other road users.

As part of the construction process, we will prepare a construction management plan. This will ensure the current hospital can be kept running safely and can continue to be fully operational without interruption whilst the new hospital is being built.
