Project Overview
Additional Hospital Capacity Delivered During Winter Demand
Northern General Hospital required additional ward capacity to accommodate increased patient demand during periods of winter pressure.
Jarvale was appointed to coordinate the delivery, installation and commissioning of modular decant ward facilities within the live hospital estate, creating additional healthcare accommodation while maintaining safe operations across the site.
The project demanded detailed planning, specialist lifting operations and close collaboration with hospital stakeholders to ensure new facilities could be brought into service within strict programme requirements.

Scope of Works
Modular Building Installation & Healthcare Infrastructure Works
The scheme focused on providing additional temporary healthcare accommodation through the delivery and installation of large-scale modular ward facilities. All activities were carefully coordinated within the operational hospital environment to minimise disruption and maintain safe access for staff, patients and visitors.
Project Delivery
Meeting Critical NHS Deadlines in Challenging Conditions
Unlike many construction projects, this scheme was driven by an urgent operational requirement. The NHS Trust needed additional accommodation available within a defined timeframe to support seasonal demand and patient care requirements.
Detailed delivery planning, coordinated crane operations and close communication between all stakeholders ensured the modular units were safely installed despite severe winter conditions and the challenges associated with working around vulnerable patients.

Supporting Operational Healthcare Facilities
Projects involving temporary healthcare accommodation require a different approach from traditional hospital refurbishment works.
Success depends on careful logistics planning, stakeholder coordination, specialist lifting operations and the ability to integrate new facilities safely into an active healthcare estate without affecting patient services.
Jarvale’s wider healthcare portfolio includes ward refurbishments, operating theatre upgrades, clinical environments and specialist NHS projects delivered within live hospital settings.
