Laing O’Rourke is preparing to install 165t of new steelwork as part of its overhaul of Royal Liverpool Hospital, where construction stalled after the collapse of Carillion.
Parts of the cladding and exterior of the hospital have already been removed as Laing O’Rourke and its subcontractors fix structural issues identified with the building.
Currently, the contractor is constructing the 220 cu m of concrete required to reinforce the structure. Concrete pouring started in August and the work involves ‘grit blasting’ existing concrete beams to ensure the new concrete bonds with the structure. Throughout this work, specialsts are x-raying or ‘ferro-scanning’ the structure to ensure it remains secure throughout construction.
