Outpatient facility is Premier’s largest health scheme yet
Premier Modular has chalked up a £21m job to build a new facility for King’s College Hospital in London.
The four-storey outpatient services building is the offsite specialist’s largest healthcare scheme to date.
The East Yorkshire firm, which is the main contractor on the project, will lead a team including Kent contractor Claritas, P+HS Architects and M&E specialist T Clarke.
The 3,450sq m building will house 48 consultation rooms and eight procedure rooms for a range of services, such as dermatology, rheumatology, respiratory, neurosciences, pain management and urology.
It will also be used for other types of surgery and therapy and is intended to allow the hospital trust to free up space within the main hospital to reduce waiting times.
Premier Modular divisional director Dan Allison said the use of modular construction would “radically reduce” disruption to staff and patients by carrying out as much work as possible offsite.
The block will be powered by solar panels and an air source heat pump, although it will also require the demolition of an existing building on the site.
Investment firm Cabot Square Capital acquired a majority shareholding in Premier Modular last year after it reported a 23.2% profit increase on the year before.
Other high-profile schemes in other sectors delivered by the firm include a £50m project to provide office and welfare buildings at the Hinkley Point nuclear power plant in Somerset, awarded to the business under the name of Waco UK.
Premier Modular has also constructed a number of covid-19 testing sites during the pandemic.
