Heartlands Hospital, Ward Block

Key details

Project Overview

Birmingham Heartlands Hospital is a large site consisting of modern, state-of-the-art buildings purpose built. It is the largest hospital at Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust. Baynham Meikle was involved in the construction of one of the main ward blocks on the site.

The main super-structure comprised a concrete frame with troughed floor slabs. The roof was formed using steel trusses with walkways that provided access to the high level services. Reinforced concrete pad foundations were provided as support to the main columns which had to account for large new and existing below ground duct runs.
