King's Lynn Health Hub
Page intro
In 2024, EvaBuild completed the groundworks on a project to provide a new health hub centre in King’s Lynn for our Client Darwin Group. The Health Centre houses a range of primary care services, as well as a maternity hub and rehabilitation therapy services for the nearby Queen Elizabeth Hospital. Work commenced on site in late Autumn 2023, the first few months of the project saw installation of drainage, preparation and installation of foundations, and installation of the modular building units.
Upon completion of site investigations, EvaBuild carried out a reduce level dig to the site and started work on the building foundations. The foundations compromised of driven piles, ground beams and piers to allow for under-building ventilation. As this area required radon protection, a 50mm sand blinding, gas membrane and 100mm concrete oversite were laid within the building footprint. Drainage was then installed including three large attenuation tanks.
Following modular install, new tarmac pathways, roadways and a large permeable car park area were constructed.
Full scope of works:
- Reduce dig
- Removal of arisings offsite
- Piling Mat
- Driven Piles
- Ground Beams
- Levelling Piers
- Concrete Oversite
- Brickwork package (up to FFL)
- Drainage including attenuation tanks
- Combined Service trench for Data, Mains Water, Mains Electric and EV Electric
- Construct new tarmac pathways, roads & car parks
- Supply and install of road kerbs
- Constructed new staff bicycle area
We engaged EvaBuild to deliver a comprehensive turnkey groundworks, civils, and landscaping package on behalf of NHS Property Services. As ever, they executed the project with exceptional professionalism, both from the management team and on-site staff. EvaBuild is always mindful of our stringent construction deadlines and works closely with us to ensure we meet our contractual obligations.
