Howard Civil Engineering is thrilled to have topped out our three-storey reinforced concrete frame at Scarborough Hospital earlier this month.

Our works form part of a £47m contract to improve Scarborough Hospital building which is being undertaken by Integrated Health projects (IHP), a joint venture between Sir Robert McAlpine and VINCI Construction.

This extension which will combine and expand the existing Accident and Emergency department and acute medical unit, and improve site-wide infrastructure such as the electrical systems, ventilation, and drainage.

In addition to a three-storey reinforced concrete frame complete with two lift and stair cores, Howard Civil Engineering has also delivered the enabling works, drainage works including 1600mm of drainage up to 5m deep and two large geo-cellular attenuation tanks, and installed 1000m of service ducting.

Gary Connor, Senior Construction Manager at VINCI Construction, said: "While Howard [Civil Engineering] has been on site, the team has been extremely proactive, and the site manager (Patrick Furlong) has been excellent. With this in mind, I would definitely use Howard Civil Engineering on other projects."
