BOROUGH MARKET Complex Logistics Occupied Site Info box:Client: Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital, NHS Foundation TrustArchitect: ADP Architecture        Quantity Surveyor: Sweett Group             Project Manager: Sweett GroupValue: £2m Since 2005 Neilcott have been a preferred status contractor for the Trustees of Borough Market in the redevelopment and regeneration of the Market and associated buildings. In its historic position opposite Southwark Cathedral, Borough Market is clearly in a Heritage area so there are strict limits on changing the design. Working in close liaison with the Client and the Architect, Neilcott drew upon our experience of refurbishments and construction projects, value engineering the initial designs in order to meet the client’s budget. Of particular note is Jubilee market which was stripped out and refurbished to capture its original glory. The project, valued at circa £800k, involved the dismantling of the existing cold store chillers, a mezzanine Floor was constructed in creating a new first floor level demise for future tenants, New lighting was installed to the lower ground units. A new power supply cable was installed from the existing sub mains via the underground basement and existing ducting pits to feed the newly formed units and lift. The metal staircases were enclosed in 1 hour fire rated plaster board partitions. All common part areas were fully decorated and non-slip flooring was included in the toilet areas. Neilcott were well aware of the constraints of working within a lively market and have contributed to the improvement of Borough Market with a number of smaller projects, including re-configuring Middle Road, installing additional storage rooms and refurbishment of Booths Arch etc. All these projects involve working in and around operational areas and ensuring the on-going successful operation of the market.

GUY’S HOSPITAL GRIID Complex Logistics Occupied Site Info box:Client: Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital, NHS Foundation TrustArchitect: ADP Architecture              Quantity Surveyor: Sweett Group    Project Manager: Sweett GroupValue: £2m Neilcott was appointed to carry out refurbishment works within the Genetics, Rheumatology, Immunology and Allergy Department.  Key elements of the works included refurbishing part of the ground floor around Atrium 3 Bermondsey Wing, four rooms in the 3rd floor Southwark Wing, eight Consulting rooms on the 4th floor Bermondsey Wing, and the 8th Floor of the Borough Wing. During phase two of the works a new reception pod was installed in Atrium 3. To minimise disruption to patients and clinicians, certain works were undertaken out of hours, including: noisy demolition works; service alterations to the floors above and below; service penetrations; re-commissioning and cleaning operations in order that the rooms could be handed back in a satisfactory condition.  In addition, part of the works on the 4th floor were also undertaken out of hours. All adjacent hospital departments and other buildings, remained in constant use during the whole of the contract period and great care was exercised to ensure that all works was carried out as quietly and with as little disturbance as possible to the patients, staff and organisation of the Hospital.  Full dust containment was required for all phases of the project and complied with HBN 09. All windows were sealed to prevent dust passing into other areas of the building, including sealing all supply and extract ducts etc.  As patients with increased susceptibility to infection were located close to the project works, prior to start on site a risk assessment was undertaken with the Hospital’s IPC team. The IPC team were also invited to conduct periodic visits to the site particularly in the time immediately prior to handover. Due to the complex operational nature of the existing Hospital Campus, a Contractor Interface Agreement was established from the outset.  The aim of this agreement was to address and resolve possible conflict and interface issues between ongoing Hospital operations to ultimately ensure public safety and environmental harmony was maintained at all times. The new facility has created a brighter, more modern clinical environment which has enhanced the experience of patients using Dermatology Outpatient Services.

Royal Marsden – Operating Theatres

ROYAL MARSDEN, NEW AND REFURBISHED OPERATING THEATRES Logistics Occupied Site Specialist Finishes Health Standards Info box:Client: The Royal Marsden NHS TrustArchitect: Ansell and BaileyQuantity Surveyor: WT Partnership The project involved the construction of a new theatre adjacent to an existing theatre on an existing flat roof area. Once the new theatre was brought into service, the existing theatre was stripped back to the structure and completely refurbished. The project also entailed construction of new theatre staff changing facilities and recovery bays. Working immediately adjacent to a live theatre with full operational wards above and below was logistically challenging. Access was further complicated with the area being located at the head of the hospital complex with a children’s nursery immediately beside the area at ground floor level. Our site team worked closely with the hospital throughout the project to manage the the changing pattern of logistical challenges and enable surrounding departments to continue to work effectively. Close collaboration was also essential with the estates team to manage planned service interruptions and commissioning activities without disrupting other areas of the hospital.

ASHFORD OPD REDEVELOPMENT Occupied Site Complex Logistics & Phasing Health Standards Complex M&E Info box:Client: Ashford and St Peter’s Hospital NHS Foundation TrustArchitect: Building Ideas                  Quantity Surveyor: Sweett GroupValue: £2m With around 200 clinics per week being held within the Outpatient Department, efficient works planning and diligent programme management was critical to minimise down-time and smooth running of clinical services. Within this live hospital building, works involved the alteration and refurbishment of the  Outpatient Department at first floor level with installation of new M&E plant. Works were carried out in 5 phases, with key elements taking place out of hours to minimise disruption to day to day hospital operations. The works required demolition, removal of doors, floors, skirtings, crash barriers and ceilings and the construction of some new openings. Existing walls were made good, replastered and redecorated. New areas were created to form a Main Waiting Area, Children’s Waiting Area as well as Consultant Rooms, WCs and Ancillary Rooms. Segregated access points were carefully managed to enable the operational team to gain access with labour and materials, requiring removal of existing panels/glazing, fully reinstated after completion of each phase. Phase 4 was ‘land-locked’, requiring use of the nearest escape stairs, therefore a strict permit to work system was put in place with full approval of the Trust for each permit. Effective liaison with the Trust’s Capital Project Manager enabled works activities to be carried out beyond site boundaries at suitable times, including M&E connections on ground floor and access to the rooftop plant room to install new plant.

ESHER GREEN BAPTIST CHURCH Occupied Site Community Liaison Stakeholder Engagement Info box:Client: Esher Green Baptist ChurchArchitect: MEB Design Limited      Quantity Surveyor: Synergy             Project Manager: SynergyValue: £1m Esher Green Baptist Church is a distinctive building dating from the latter half of the 19th century. It has been identified as a significant unlisted building in a recent character appraisal document produced for the Esher Conservation Area The single storey structure to the rear of the main church was demolished and a new modern extension was constructed linked to the existing church by a link block. The new extension is used as a meeting area for the church with enough space for 179 seats. The link block also contains a kitchen and vestry, plus a disabled toilet. The project also included alterations to the existing church building. The alterations involved a vertical extension to the church. The main church building was broken into several meeting and function rooms to be used by various church and community groups. The conversion includes new male and female toilets and several rooms of differing sizes, some of which have moveable partitions to enable them to be joined to create larger spaces. A lift was also provided so that the first floor was accessible for all. The modern contemporary rear element of the proposal is connected to the historical front section of the building by way of a link block. This link section is glazed and is intended as a device for showing a clear distinction between the older, historic element and the new contemporary rear element. The new facilities at the church improved the services that the church could provide to the local community and established a focus for the community.
