The main design and build contract awarded by the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board for the three-storey 2,500m\u00b2 facility will see MTX employ advanced elements of Modern Methods of Construction<\/p>\n

MTX has led the scheme through a two-stage procurement process under a Pre-Construction Service Agreement (PCSA), working closely with NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP) to develop a fully compliant design to RIBA Stage 4.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

MTX has also worked closely with the health board through several carefully planned end-user sessions designed to engage the various departments within the new building.<\/p>\n

Precisely engineered steel structural units will be used to create the fabric of the building, factory-manufactured offsite while groundworks are underway to streamline the overall construction process.<\/p>\n

Once the foundations and site preparations are complete, the prefabricated modules will be transported to site, craned into position and made watertight, to allow pouring of concrete floors, internal fit-out and installation of mechanical and electrical services to progress rapidly.<\/p>\n

Work is due to start on site in the next few weeks and is scheduled to be completed in 2027.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The project represents the first phase of a \u00a360m investment in the Royal Alexandra Hospital. The business case for phase two to redevelop and improve the existing hospital will be submitted separately by Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board.<\/p>\n

MTX Contracts Ltd Managing Director David Hartley said: \u201cBeing chosen to partner with the health board in the creation of this important healthcare project reflects our strong track record in providing high-quality healthcare facilities across the UK.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy employing hybrid methods of construction and our own unique skillset, we\u2019re looking forward to delivering this vital new facility quickly, sustainably and cost-effectively, all whilst minimising disruption to existing patient pathways.\u201d<\/p>\n
