Vinci / Sir Robert McAlpine land Royal work

IHP, a Joint Venture between Vinci Construction UK and Sir Robert McAlpine, has been awarded two contracts by the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals NHS Trust.

The first contract, which begins in early June, will see the reconfiguration of the existing observation ward and the design and refurbishment of the existing resuscitation area within the Emergency department. This contract will be completed in October 2012.

In August, the contractor will start the second contract which will be completed in February 2013. The work includes an extension to the Emergency department which will accommodate 18 beds.
