Morgan Sindall Construction & Infrastructure Ltd have been contracted to construct the new facility on the live Children’s Health Campus and will host the site visit. There will be a presentation describing the challenging constraints, enabling works, services diversions and engineering solutions used on this challenging project, followed by a site tour. * Places are limited so don't leave it too late to book * Project Details: Alder Hey Childrens NHS Foundation Trust have commissioned a new state-of-the-art Surgical Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) on their Children’s Health Campus in Liverpool. The unit will address a shared concern between Liverpool Women’s and Alder Hey hospitals, that babies who need specialist surgery currently have to be transferred to Alder Hey to get the specialist surgical care they need, then transferred back to Liverpool Women’s Hospital to continue their specialist neonatal care. Specialist neonatal staff from Liverpool Women’s Hospital will work alongside Alder Hey at the new NICU ensuring that babies do not need to be transferred back and forth between the two hospitals. The new arrangement will reduce the number of unnecessary and sometimes risky transfers of babies between Alder Hey and other hospitals, significantly improving the experience of patients and families. The new building is situated on the location of the existing Emergency Department car park and will be linked to the existing hospital via link corridors. Works commenced on site with a series of enabling works, including service diversions, reconfiguring of the bereavement garden and temporary re-routing of vehicular and pedestrian access routes. The enabling works were complete earlier this year releasing the site for construction works to begin. The steel frame with composite deck structure sits on the piled substructure with reinforced concrete foundations and will be linked to the concrete frame of the existing hospital building. On the ground floor of the new building, will be a new Emergency Decisions Unit (EDU), Paediatric Admission Unit (PAU) and Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC). The new unit, on the 1st floor of the new building, will feature 18 individual family rooms for parents to call home and be alongside their new-borns whilst being cared for. The new facility will be clad in a mixture of masonry, aluminium cladding and render materials, including projecting feature windows.
