NAAS GENERAL HOSPITAL

PJ Hegarty led a successful and challenging project to construct a new state-of-the-art hospital building and 3,000m² of underground car park at Naas General, without disrupting the adjacent main hospital, which remained fully operational throughout the project.

Client : Eastern Health Board
Service : Healthcare
Architect : A & D Wejchert
Quantity surveyors : Mulcahy McDonagh & Partners
Structural engineer : TJ O’Connor & Associates
Services engineer : JV Tierney & Co.
Value : €75 million

The new hospital development included the following departments: accident & emergency; outpatients; radiology; operating; intensive care; coronary care; Administration / Medical Records; wards and on-call accommodation.

The structure consisted of an in-situ reinforced concrete frame with block infill panels. The roof was constructed using timber trusses with a slate finish. External walls received a pigmented render finish. The site management team worked in conjunction with the hospital project team to successfully manage live service relocation and tie-in work.
