Project Overview
The Sub-Regional Neonatal Intensive Care Centre (SuRNICC) is a new state of the art neo-natal intensive care unit for premature and sick infants.
The facility provides a new 22 cot unit, with inbuilt future flexibility. The project has been highly complex due to the site being located within an existing internal court yard of Glan Clwyd Hospital.
In addition to the new build element, there was also demolition of an existing chapel and access bridge, and refurbishment of existing buildings.

The Challenge
Constructing a state-of-the-art neonatal intensive care unit within a confined internal courtyard of a live hospital, while managing existing buried services, demolishing structures, and refurbishing buildings.
Our Solution
Conducting thorough option appraisals to explore construction methodologies, adapting designs to retain existing underground services, and utilising fibre-reinforced concrete for floor slabs—eliminating the need for large mesh reinforcement and easing construction logistics.
Added Value:
Option appraisals were carried out at the outset to consider a range of construction methodologies.
A number of existing buried services and drains were located within the site, which could not be diverted due to the hospital's live nature.
We designed floor slabs with fibre-reinforced concrete, which eliminated the requirement to transport and place larger sheets of traditional mesh reinforcement.
