Work Complete On New Multi-Storey Car Park

Construction News Image
Morgan Sindall Construction has completed works on a new multi-storey car park at Queen's Hospital Burton.

The project was delivered for University Hospitals of Derby and Burton (UHDB) NHS Foundation Trust, which commissioned the car park following the allocation of £3 million of Government funding. The development is part of the Trust’s wider strategy to transform and upgrade the main site and improve the experience for those using the hospital's car parking facilities.

Set over four-storeys, the car park is built on land behind the treatment centre on the hospital's main site. It provides an additional 499 spaces, with 10 spaces with designated electric charging points. The site will be primarily used for staff, which will help free up space in the patient and visitors car park.

Morgan Sindall Construction has worked closely with the Trust to help them achieve sustainability targets on the project, which are based around the government's drive towards reducing greenhouse emissions in line with achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

The team used ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) in the concrete foundations; a by-product of steel production, it requires less energy to produce and will reduce the embodied carbon of the development by up to 100 tonnes of CO2.

The car park has been designed by Gilling Dod Architects. Consultants on the scheme include Couch Consulting Engineers and Couch Perry Wilkes.
