OVERVIEW
The new Greater Manchester Major Trauma Hospital at Salford Royal Hospital, part of the Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust, is set to provide much needed additional capacity to care for and treat major trauma patients.
BAM were appointed to lead the construction of the new facility as part of the Government’s New Hospital Programme. The project required completion of a building within both the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) and the tight programme timescales due to the urgent need for extra capacity.
With the hospital committed to achieve an 80% reduction in the carbon emissions they directly control by 2028 – 2032, it was also essential that the facility was well insulated to reduce the demand on its heating systems. To deliver this, whilst meeting the project requirements for a European Classification (Euroclass) A1 or A2 rated façade insulation, K-Roc Rainscreen Slab was fitted as part of the building’s rainscreen façade.
