Acting as Civil and Structural Design Consultants, Eastwood delivered a comprehensive range of engineering services throughout the project, including:
The site presented several engineering challenges, including sloping topography and complex ground conditions associated with its former railway use.
To address these constraints, Eastwood undertook detailed geotechnical and geo-environmental investigations to inform the design process. By adopting an integrated civil and structural engineering approach, the team optimised site levels, minimised earthworks and developed efficient foundation and drainage solutions tailored to the site's characteristics.
Close collaboration between all project stakeholders ensured that health and safety considerations were embedded throughout the design and construction process, supporting the successful delivery of the scheme.
Sustainability was a key driver throughout the development, resulting in exceptional environmental performance.
The completed building has achieved:
The facility operates using energy generated entirely from rooftop solar photovoltaic panels, significantly reducing operational carbon emissions and setting a new benchmark for sustainable healthcare design in the UK.
