New CT and ICU Extension - Connolly Hospital Blanchardstown

Description du marché

The new CT and ICU development at Connolly Hospital Blanchardstown forms an extension to the existing hospital and includes local renovations of the main hospital buildings where the new building connects to existing accommodation at ground and first floor level. The development is located on a constrained site which is enclosed on 3 sides by sensitive clinical accommodation including theatres, HDU, and Radiology. The hospital’s emergency department and blue light access route is located directly to the north of the site. Live hospital services must be maintained for the duration of construction. The development is comprised of 3 storeys as set out below: Ground Floor Level: The ground floor includes a new reception and waiting area for the hospital’s radiology department as well as administrative and support areas including offices, WCs and changing areas. The ground floor also includes a new CT scanner suite and associated control room and local plant space. The ground floor has a number of critical interfaces and tie-ins with existing buildings including the emergency department and existing radiology department. First Floor Level: The first floor of the proposed development provides a new ICU facility for the hospital which includes 4 no. segregated ICU patient rooms and 1 no. isolation suite as well as ancillary spaces and general support accommodation for staff and equipment. This floor will directly connect with the existing theatres and HDU by way of a high-level link which will require local reconfiguration of the Theatre and HDU departments and modification of existing building fabric similar to at ground floor level. Second Floor Level: The second floor contains an enclosed, dedicated plant room to serve the CT and ICU levels below. A new stair core and evacuation lift is proposed to serve all levels of the extension.
