Our Role:
Description:
The new St Bernard’s Hospital, constructed by converting an existing office block at Europort (three times the size of the old hospital), represented a 60,000,000Gbt plus investment in health for current and future generations.
Work on the project commenced on 8 July 2002 involving radically altering the inner areas of the existing Buildings 1–4, to adapt them to the needs of a modern hospital. The hospital is operated by the Gibraltar Health Authority, a department of the Government of Gibraltar with the purpose of providing health care to the residents of Gibraltar.
The hospital was designed for 210 beds covering Ortho trauma, maternity, surgical, medical and pediatric wards, two main operating theaters, emergency backup theatre, a hydrotherapy pool with a full rehabilitation clinic, cardiac rehabilitation, accident and emergency department with a provision for major incidents and ophthalmic clinics. The scope of work for this development included MEP construction, installation testing and commissioning, maintenance and operation of various facilities including CCTV.
