ICU Expansion

The expansion of the Intensive Care Unit was initiated in response to increasing patient demand, limited capacity, and a need to future-proof the facility against growing healthcare pressures. Delivering the scheme within a live hospital environment, while maintaining uninterrupted critical care services, posed significant logistical and operational challenges. Time and cost constraints further heightened the complexity of the project.

G&T provided Programme & Project Controls services, supporting the Trust with robust planning, scheduling, risk management and cost control from the outset. Our team developed and maintained detailed programme and reporting tools to monitor progress, identify potential risks early, and keep stakeholders aligned throughout. Working closely with the project team, we helped ensure informed decision-making and supported the delivery of a phased construction strategy that minimised disruption to live clinical environments.

The expanded ICU now provides a high-quality, future-ready clinical environment with increased capacity and improved patient and staff experience. G&T’s proactive programme and cost control enabled the Trust to deliver the project within the required timescales and budget parameters, despite the challenges of operating in a live hospital setting. The outcome is a resilient and modern facility that strengthens critical care provision for years to come.
