Simon was responsible for the on-site logistical management and coordination of RAAC (Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete) remediation works within a live NHS hospital environment.
The project required careful planning and coordination to allow essential structural works to be undertaken while maintaining the hospital's day-to-day operations and minimising disruption to patients, clinical staff and essential healthcare services.
Acting as the key link between the hospital's operational teams, structural engineers, designers and Principal Contractor, Simon coordinated site activities, managed access requirements and ensured construction works were planned around the hospital's clinical needs.
A rolling programme of works was developed and coordinated, allowing individual areas of the hospital to be made available for construction activities in phases. This approach enabled the contractor to progress the necessary works while supporting the continued operation of hospital wards and services.
Effective communication and close collaboration between all parties were essential to managing the challenges of working within an occupied healthcare environment, balancing construction requirements with patient safety, staff access and operational continuity.
