Project information

Dowds complete various multi-phased refurbs of the Maternity Hospital, High Dependency, Critical Care Units and theatres within Altnagelvin Hospital. Our services delivered on the Radiotherapy Unit and North Wing Extension have sustained our long-standing presence on this acute hospital site.

 

Works on Altnagelvin Hospital also included the extension and refurbishment of the existing Chemotherapy Suite, the refurbishment of the ground floor of the Tower Block, and the construction of an underground car park.

 

The Radiotherapy Unit building provides ground floor treatment rooms including 4 linear accelerator bunkers, MRI scanner suites, CT scanner suites, and plain x-ray, as well as first and second floor offices and respite care, bed wards and isolation suites North Wing was completed in 2020 with 144 beds delivered along with M&E Infrastructure and services. We pushed for early engagement with our critical supply chain partners who understand the healthcare environment. 

 

We worked closely with them using their expertise alongside our own to ensure early agreement of detailed programme and final coordination of M&E services within very confined distribution routes.
