Offsite construction specialist the McAvoy Group has craned the final modules into position for a new wing at Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital in Cramlington.
McAvoy has a £15m contract to build the 6,500m2, three-storey building.
The building was craned into position as 294 steel-framed modules in a build programme that took less than 12 months – half the time of a traditional build.
The bespoke modules are larger than normal – up to 14.85m long – and have been specially engineered to provide a structural flooring solution that seamlessly integrates with the existing hospital building, removing the need for ramps and steps.
