Morgan Sindall To Extend The Grange University Hospital's ED
Morgan Sindall selected by the NHS to deliver an extension to The Grange University Hospital's Emergency Department (ED) in Cwmbran, near Newport.
Procured via the SCAPE National Construction Framework, the team has since started on site with the phased work set to complete in April 2025.
Additional amenities to the pre-existing facilities include a three-storey building with a ground floor ED triage area. The remaining floors will continue as open plan in order to the meet required needs of the hospital.
Further to the extension, the tier one contractor will deliver refurbishment works in the current Emergency Department waiting and triage rooms to meet modern standards.
The project is being designed and managed by Gleeds in conjunction with the NHS (Aneurin Bevan University Health Board), with the former involving Morgan Sindall at RIBA stage four. Early engagement and consultation via the SCAPE framework resulted in a quick, 8-month consultation turnaround.
Throughout the construction, Morgan Sindall will utilise its in-house carbon mapping software, CarboniCa, to track – and importantly reduce – carbon emissions on-site. Furthermore, the team will install Photovoltaic (PV) solar panels on both the new building and the roof of current hospital buildings.
In line with Morgan Sindall and SCAPE's commitment to environmental and social value, the project looks to incorporate 20 apprenticeship weeks, two weeks of work placements and 24 hours spent in schools at careers events. Additionally, the project is set to directly employ three local work starters.
As part of its green transport initiative, Morgan Sindall will encourage its staff and supply chain to utilise low-emission transport to and from site, reducing their carbon footprint and promoting eco-friendly transportation alternatives.
