Park Royal Pond Ward Refurbishment
We designed the building services for the refurbishment and remodelling of Pond Ward at Park Royal, a £1.5 million project where keeping as many patient bedrooms in use as possible was a key requirement.
Our Role
Brookbanks undertook non intrusive surveys to establish the location and type of existing services, so the services design could be developed to suit the refurbishment and remodelling of the ward.
Where existing services were in unsatisfactory condition, their replacement was programmed into the works.
The Outcome
The client needed to keep the number of patient bedrooms out of service to a minimum. Our services design allowed the works to be carried out room by room, so individual rooms could be taken out of service one at a time while the rest of the ward continued to operate.
The approach balanced the need to renew ageing services with the Trust’s priority of maintaining patient capacity throughout the refurbishment.
