Overview
Cooper Construction Services recently wrapped up an impressive refurbishment project for Cygnet Healthcare at their hospital in Harrow, North London. This project showcased our ability to handle complex construction tasks within sensitive and fully operational healthcare environments.
The main hurdle was carrying out our work in a high-level, forensic wing of the hospital, which was a live environment with large amounts of activity throughout our project. We had to be extra careful to keep everything safe and secure, not just for our team but also for the hospital staff and patients.
Our Approach
Planning: We put a lot of thought into our planning to make sure we wouldn’t disturb the hospital’s day-to-day. This meant breaking down the work into phases and syncing up with the hospital team to dodge any clashes with patient care.
Specialised Installation: The project needed us to put in some pretty specialised windows that are designed to keep patients safe. Our team showed they’ve got the skills to handle this kind of specialist work.
Working in a Live Environment: Being in a busy forensic wing meant we had to be on our toes with managing noise, dust, and movement around the site. We had strategies in place to keep the disruption to a minimum.
Quality and Safety: We’re big on making sure everything we do is up to scratch on quality and safety. We kept a close eye on our work with regular checks to make sure everything was ticking along nicely and safely.
Outcomes
A Better Environment for End-Users: The new windows, flooring, and decor have really spruced up the place, making it a nicer environment for the end users.
Boosted Safety and Security: Those anti-ligature windows are a big win for patient safety in a place like this.
Keeping the Peace: We’re chuffed to say we got the job done with minimal fuss, on time and within budget, proving we can handle the pressure of working in sensitive spots like this.
Conclusion
Finishing up this project for Cygnet Healthcare has been a great chance for us to show what we’re made of when it comes to tackling tough construction jobs in delicate environments. We’ve not only given the hospital a bit of a facelift but also improved safety and comfort for everyone there. It’s been a rewarding project, and we’re proud of what we’ve achieved.
