Supplier of pre-owned modular buildings, Foremans Relocatable Building Systems has launched a standardised design for a cardiac angiography laboratory in response to the Government’s commitment to improving and expanding facilities for the treatment of heart disease.
Foremans’ approach gives health service providers all the advantages of modular building – faster programme times, improved quality and less disruption to staff and patients during construction – with the additional benefits of a standardised and proven laboratory design, and value for money because the building is made from refurbished preowned modules.
The single-storey lab building comprises radiology area, waiting area, recovery bays, nurse’s station, treatment room and toilets. It can be built in just 12 weeks and linked to other hospital buildings.
A spokesperson for the estates department at South Warwickshire General Hospital NHS Trust said: “We needed to improve our capacity and on-site facilities to enable us to offer enhanced imaging and diagnostics, replacing the mobile unit that visited the hospital six times a year. The quality of the new building is excellent and I am pleased to report it was delivered on time and on budget.”
