Whether providing specialist units such as Covid-19 isolation wards or extensions to existing centres, our specialist team have had vast experience in the careful installation and integration of modular facilities in the grounds of a live hospital environment, minimising disruption time, as a high proportion of the works are undertaken off site, whilst minimising the carbon used within the construction process.
