Seamless Kingston Hospital CT reconfiguration project delivery.
Ensigna Construction successfully delivered the reconfiguration of the CT Support Department at Kingston Hospital in a live, fully operational healthcare environment. Works included demolition, reconfiguration, new mechanical and electrical installations, and creation of staff offices, patient waiting areas, WCs, and changing facilities. Key installations included MVHR ventilation, nurse call systems, fire alarms, and access control. Despite programme constraints and technical complexities, the project was completed on time, with zero disruption to critical CT services. Ensigna’s healthcare expertise, meticulous planning, and strong stakeholder communication ensured a high-quality result that met NHS standards and exceeded client expectations.
The Challenges
The reconfiguration of the CT Support Department at Kingston Hospital NHS Trust Foundation posed several complex challenges due to the live hospital environment, a tight project timeline, and intricate mechanical and electrical (M&E) installations. Maintaining uninterrupted patient and staff access while preventing disruption to nearby CT Examination rooms required meticulous planning and control of dust, noise, and movement. The compressed schedule demanded timely delivery without compromising safety or quality, while the technical installations—including MVHR units, nurse call systems, and a BMS panel—required precise coordination and regulatory compliance. Ensigna Construction effectively navigated these challenges through robust communication with stakeholders, dedicated on-site management, and deep experience in live healthcare environments. Their proactive approach ensured minimal disruption, high-quality execution, and successful integration of all systems within the hospital infrastructure.
