Neath Port Talbot Hospital
Interserve Project Services
The new Neath Port Talbot Hospital comprises 277 beds and provides a wide range of services including acute medical emergency admissions, elective surgery, a 24 hour local accident centre, outpatients, children’s, rehabilitation and diagnostic services.
The hospital also provides the opportunity to transform local access to mental health services by offering an acute admissions unit, assessment facilities for geriatric psychiatry and day hospital provision in a stand-alone Mental Health Unit.
The hospital, a PFI project, was constructed using a steel frame with composite floors and partial brick / composite cladding external envelope. Millard Consulting provided structural and infrastructure design.
The site was formerly a household waste tip and testing indicated the possibility of methane emissions. Although low rates of flow were predicted, reducing with time, the ground floor was fully protected against gas penetration and the 1.2m service void, below ground floor, had passive ventilation with fans to force vent if levels increased above preset limits.
All roads were constructed to allow free flow of gas emissions to ventilation trenches. The foundations were 15 to 20m precast concrete piles, driven to a set in the gravels below the fill, supporting reinforced concrete ground beams and sleeper walls to create the service void in which all drainage runs were located. The ground floor was a beam and block construction, with gas protection below the screed. A large lake was constructed adjacent to the hospital; providing a balancing reservoir and attenuation to the storm flows from the extensive car parking areas.
Kidderminster Hospital ACAD
Kidderminster Hospital – which was saved by converting it into a treatment centre for planned care and minor injuries - a new idea at the time. The brief for the ambulatory care and diagnostic facility (ACAD) was to develop a plan for high-quality public space, easy access to clinics, very flexible arrangements for running services, better quality operating facilities, and one short-stay ward. Millard Consulting provided the civil and structural design for both the demolition of the old structure and the refurbishment of the atrium.
The refurbishment required the demolition and removal of two floors and a reinforced concrete roof, to open up an area into the three-storey atrium and circulation area. This was covered with a lightweight structure supporting an ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) pillow roof membrane. This is permanently under air pressure to provide both natural lighting and excellent insulation. This is the same system and material of roofing used at the Eden Project in Cornwall. The new lift shafts are completely enclosed in vertical spanning glass panels that complement the balustrades to the large cantilevered main stair and balcony balustrades overlooking the Atrium.
