Airedale General Hospital

PROJECT Overview

About the Project

We were commissioned by AGH Solutions Limited who were acting on behalf of Airedale NHS Foundation Trust to deliver the Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) Remediation Programme.

The programme consists of a number of capital projects including ward refurbishments, structural RAAC remediation works, a new modular build, a deck car park and other ancillary site wide works.

The programme is designed to reduce the risk of RAAC failure, and it is an enabler for the proposed redevelopment of the hospital as part of the New Hospitals Programme and the Trust’s transformation programme; “Securing the Future”.

Our current commission entails the provision of project, design and cost & commercial management services and a programme management leadership role. We are working with a fantastic collaborative client team and group of external partners to deliver this critical programme of works in a ‘live’ hospital environment.
