Leighton Hospital Technical Advisory and Clerk of Works
Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust appointed us to provide technical advisory and clerk of works services across multiple building projects at Leighton Hospital, including a new modular Outpatients Department and a new Decant Ward.
Our Role
During RIBA Stage 4 we carried out technical reviews of contractor design information, ensuring compliance with regulatory and technical standards.
Through RIBA Stage 5 we provided a revolving weekly mechanical and electrical engineering attendance on site, monitoring and reviewing the ongoing installation, attending design team meetings, and reviewing utility connections from the existing hospital infrastructure.
During RIBA Stage 6 we provided witnessing and commissioning support so that all systems operate correctly and the handover documentation accurately represents the installation.
The Outcome
Both the new Outpatients Department and Decant Ward link and interface with the existing hospital, so independent scrutiny of connections to live infrastructure was critical.
Our involvement across Stages 4 to 6 gave the Trust assurance that projects worth £10 million to £15 million were designed, installed and handed over to the required standard.
