Beaumont Hospital PDF Brochure
(Approx 864 KB)

Client:	Beaumont Hospital
Location:	Beaumont Road, Dublin 9
Project:	Transition Lounge
Size:	300 sq metres
Project Timeframe:	9 weeks
Architect:	Moloney O’Beirne

Requirement:

Additional ward space was required to relieve the pressure on the existing Accident & Emergency Department. Beaumont proposed a transit lounge/ ward to cater for the overflow. The Hospital appointed leading healthcare architects, Moloney O’Beirne, and began design work on the new ward.

Solution:

RoanKabin received an initial enquiry from the architects and was asked to undertake preliminary design work on the specification & layout of the building. The contract then went to public tender, which RoanKabin won, & the state-of-the-art RoanPlan Modular Building was chosen to house the new ten-bed ward. The building would be linked to the existing Accident & Emergency Department; RoanKabin was responsible for the breakthrough & alterations.

Architectural aluminium external cladding matched that of the main hospital creating a seamless finish. As main contractor RoanKabin were also responsible for PSCS & PSDP.Infection control is a critical issue when working in a live hospital environment, all site personnel were required to adhere to RoanKabin’s strict infection control policy.

The new 300sq mtr ward was constructed off-site & craned into position over the existing accident & emergency department. The lift & installation was completed in one day & was clad to blend in seamlessly with the main hospital. As infection control measure the link between the new department & the main Intensive Care Ward corridor was not broken through until the modular building was complete.

Scope of Works:

Innovative Solutions:

The complete off-site fitout of the ward expedited the programme time greatly. The off-site construction of the building also greatly reduced the health & safety risk:
- Significantly reduces the number of vehicle movements on site
- Greatly reduced the threat of aspergillious by reducing the onsite construction element
- Reduced working at height requirements

The 10 week programme timeframe was over 50% faster than that offered by traditional building methods. Precise project management by RoanKabin’s experienced team ensured this ambitious target was achieved.
