Outpatients Extension Using Modular Construction
Last weekend ModuleCo delivered and installed a small outpatients extension to Tetbury Hospital in the heart of the Cotswolds. The healthcare building has been built using Modular Construction due to the construction periods involved and the minial disruption to the small Cottage Hospital site.
The modular extension will increase the outpatients facilities of the hospital by 350% giving the hospital a further 5 consulting rooms.
The Friends of Tetbury, the fundraising arm of the charitiable hospital, has over the last few months been focusing it's fundraising effort to help to pay for the new modular hospital facility.
The new modular extension is due to be complete by mid-September and there is going to be a public open day in early October.

Some Ideas to Sharpen or Progress Your Own Paintball Gang Abilities Posted By : EdwinPutnam
The closer players are to each other, the more likely it is that the shots they take will cause some bruising. As long as players are mindful of the right distances at which to take shots, there is little chance that you will be pelted with painful paintball shots. There is no reason to keep yourself away from the game as long as you take the precautions of wearing the right gear and making sure everyone understands what is fair and what is not in terms of shooting distance.

ModuleCo provide a new Mammography Clinic using Modular Construction
ModuleCo have recently completed a project which provided a new Mammography unit at Wycombe Hospital in Buckinghamshire. The Trust decided that modular construction was the best solution to provide the clinic due to the very restricted and busy site adjacent to the existing maternity department.
In utilising modular construction, ModuleCo were able to minimise the amount of disruption to the patients and staff of the hospital, whilst providing a high quality facility with no compromises when compared to traditional construction. The majority of the extensive mechanical and electrical fit-out was completed in the factory and the examination rooms were designed to fit within modules to allow them to be fully fitted-out complete with lead shielding within the wall structure.
This project is the second modular healthcare building that ModuleCo have completed for the Trust. The first of which was a modular Outpatients Department at one of the Trusts other hospital sites, Stoke MandevilleHospital, Aylesbury.

Modular Construction – making the most of Courtyard space.
Using the latest techniques in off-site construction, ModuleCo (formerly PKL Healthcare) is able to deliver complex projects within tight timescales and often in very congested areas and restricted locations.
The nature of modular construction enables us to provide innovative solutions in terms of usage of space by positioning healthcare facilities in many challenging locations such as over rooftops, on steel gantry support structures and in enclosed courtyards.
One such facility, which was recently handed over to Birmingham Women’s Hospital, was a twin-theatre and two-bed recovery facility. The facility was designed to fit exactly within an existing courtyard area within the hospital. The project took full advantage of the benefits of off-site construction and the majority of the internal fit-out of the units was completed in the factory.
The installation of the Pre-Assembled Units required a 500 tonne crane with a lifting distance of 80m. The path of units in the air was very specific whilst the installation was taking place, as the units could not be lifted over surrounding occupied buildings for safety reasons but also to minimise disruption to the surrounding site. This allowed the twin-theatre and recovery facility to be up and running within 5 weeks of installation on site, keeping disruption to the surrounding neonatal unit to an absolute minimum.

Modular Renal Dialysis Facility
ModuleCo have recently been awarded a contract to provide a new Modular Renal Dialysis Clinic for Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals NHS Trust.
The Satellite Renal Unit will be sited on Buckinghamshire Hospitals NHS Trust's Stoke Mandeville Hospital site. The new facility will have an enhanced external appearance, using brick slip cladding and a tiled pitched roof to match the buildings which are adjacent to the proposed site.
The new facility will provide a renal dialysis service for the local population of the hospital reducing the distances patients have to travel for their treatment which can be up to four times a week.
ModuleCo are contracted to take on the whole scheme as the main contractor which will include the enabling works turning an existing car park and greenfield site into the new facility.
