Blackpool Victoria Hospital - FK Construction Limited

Blackpool Victoria Hospital

There are particular challenges to be overcome in the healthcare sector, as the projects usually fall within the confines of existing hospital facilities. The safety and welfare of patients, staff and visitors is, therefore, a crucial consideration, calling for stringent health and safety procedures. We also need to work within tight site footprints and limited lay down areas for materials, devising bespoke delivery strategies to co-ordinate trades and maximise efficiency, without disrupting the day-to-day operation of the hospital, as well as bespoke packaging strategies, to reduce waste generation on site. Other considerations include how the work impacts other structures, and whether temporary weathering is required to avoid damage.

At Blackpool Victoria Hospital, we were tasked with installing a through wall construction system, including all SFS systems, render, glazing and louvers packages to all elevations.
