Bouygues UK will take the lead on a London hospital expansion valued at £80 million, with support from AECOM.
Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust named the firm lead contractor for the design and build of a new ambulatory diagnostic centre at West Middlesex University Hospital.
The project includes five storeys of new build, as well as a rooftop plant and small terrace area.
On the ground floor, a new single-storey link corridor will be constructed connecting to the existing hospital building.
Demolition works of the current MRI building on site have begun.
The new all-electric facility will provide vital diagnostic and treatment services in cancer, renal and imaging for residents in Hounslow, Richmond and Ealing.
It aims to reduce health inequalities, improve patient outcomes and provide care closer to home, freeing up space in the main hospital for inpatient care.
The centre will also support outpatient care and will offer day services for patients.
Bouygues UK will take on 11 apprentices and provide around 50 work experience placements locally with training provider MITSkills.
It follows completion of University College London Hospital’s state-of-the-art cancer and surgery centre in 2022, and the ongoing development of Oriel, an integrated eye care, research and education centre.
Fabienne Viala, CEO of Bouygues UK, said: “We are thrilled to be partnering again with Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and leading the construction of this much-needed diagnostic centre.
“This project underscores our commitment to delivering sustainable, state-of-the-art facilities that will significantly benefit the local community.”
