Work Underway On £19m Hospital Project

Graham Construction has began work to expand and refurbish the operating theatres and intensive care unit (ICU) at Monklands Hospital in Lanarkshire.

The £19 million project will see the contractor develop a ten bed ICU next to the main building, which will be linked to the hospital's current operating theatres.

Once the new unit is built, it will create greater space in the main building where a new purpose-built recovery area will also be developed.

The increased capacity will allow each of the seven operating theatres to be completely refurbished as part of a 12 phase project ensuring the hospital remains fully operational at all times.

Gary Holmes, Graham's Regional Director, said: "We’ve designed the construction programme to ensure that local people still have full access to the centre while building work is being carried out.

"While that makes the project a bit more challenging than normal, we’ve got a great deal of experience in similar developments throughout the UK and are looking forward to getting started."

Work is expected to be complete during the spring of 2018.
