- Location : London, UK
- Building Size : 1,450 m²
- Construction Period : 32 weeks
- Sector : Healthcare
Project Overview
Design & Construction
The project was delivered using off-site manufactured structural steel modules, assembled on site as part of the MMC process.
Offsite Manufacturing
32 structural steel modules were manufactured offsite and installed with a precision lift strategy.
Hybrid Volumetric Construction
Innovative Components
- 2D pre-manufactured external wall panels
- 3D modular staircases and plant decks
- Pre-fabricated rebar cages and fully integrated M&E
Challenges & Solutions
Executing the build above one of London’s busiest emergency departments required expert coordination. Sustainico managed logistics alongside MTX, ensuring patient safety and continuous hospital operations.
A 40m tower crane with an 80m reach was used to install heavy structural components and 2,000+ construction boards—executed with minimal disruption.
The ward extension was built on a steel deck supported by existing A&E columns. A 20m link corridor was suspended between the new facility and the main hospital to streamline clinical connectivity.
Outcome
The project was delivered on time and within the 32-week programme. The result is a fully functional, modern healthcare facility offering 32 additional short-stay beds, staff support areas, and clinical spaces. Sustainico’s project management alongside MTX was key in overcoming logistical challenges and delivering value through smart construction.
