Hospital’s contemporary design supported by Permacrib wall

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Sheffield Hospital                                                                                             Work was undertaken to expand the critical care facilities at Sheffield‘s Northern General Hospital. The design incorporates extensive use of glass together with a mixture of timber, render and brick cladding to create a modern looking building distinct from most traditional hospitals.

Slope stabilisation was required for the footpaths and parking bays therefore main contractor Kajima Construction Limited contracted Phi Group the retaining structure specialist to design supply and build six retaining walls.

The road could not be closed as it provided the main ambulance route, therefore construction had to be done from behind with limited access.

Two Permacrib retaining walls totaling 80 metres long by 2 metres high are being built around the front perimeter of site to retain the parking bays and footpath. Four Titan modular block walls totaling 100 metres long by 2.5 metres high are being built to retain footpaths and stairways within the site.

During construction of the new hospital extension Phi Group's flexibility in providing both Permacrib and Titan retaining wall solutions, has enabled it to work within the contractor's complex contract requirements.
