Brief

“It is a pleasure working with such a professionals dedicated forward-thinking company who are solutions-focused whilst supporting the client (NHS) in achieving their goals”
Execution
With the COVID-19 pandemic putting extreme pressure on the UK and subsequent healthcare services, the Aneurin Bevin Health Board sought immediate assistance from Laing O’Rourke and their supply chain to open this hospital even earlier than originally scheduled. The SCCC hospital had the potential to play a significant part in assisting the Welsh government in their response to the pandemic and Optimum were eager to assist.
Our incredible team of fire stoppers, unprecedented in their numbers, were required to work over and beyond a normal working week, often on-site Saturday and Sunday on top of double shifts and it was this collaborative effort and dedication from the team which delivered such an important ward well ahead of time.
Partnerships
OFS worked in partnership with specialist suppliers such as Rockwool and Hilti to provide high-level fire protection throughout the project.
