This project involved the construction of a diagnostic and treatment facility incorporating a P.E.T. Scan Department in Cork University Hospital for the Health Service Executive . The works were carried out within a live acute Hospital site and involved both phased possession and phased handovers.
 

Due to the close proximity of the Accident and Emergency Department and Psychiatric Wards, procedures were put in place to minimise the spread of dust and noise. Regular meetings were also arranged with the Hospital Staff to discuss and agree weekly work programmes and access requirements to existing services. Careful coordination was required to ensure that there was no disruption to patients, staff or public during the contract. Deliveries to site were scheduled so as not to coincide with the Hospital's peak traffic times.
