Off-site construction specialist and Portakabin subsidiary Yorkon has won a £1.5 m healthcare building contract at Frenchay Hospital in Bristol.
The scheme forms part of Laing O’Rourke’s £32 m construction contract and role as Principal Supply Chain Partner to North Bristol NHS Trust. The new cardiac facility will be manufactured off site in York. This approach reduces programme times by up to 50%, ensures delivery on time and on budget, minimises disruption to the running of the hospital, and is a highly sustainable method of construction.
