The brief

To build a new COVID-19 fast-track isolation and assessment ward specially for COVID-19 patients.

The challenge

This project was live throughout the COVID-19 global pandemic, and therefore was being delivered against a set of moving client requirements, as the hospital was reacting to the pandemic as it happened, principally the need to isolate and segregate patients.

This meant that the agility and flexibility of Helix CMS was very important. Infection control and social distancing protocols became key factors on site.

The response

Work to complete the project included:

✓ A new build modular construction with pad foundations

✓ Installation of glazed partition walling

✓ Construction of new stud partition walls and suspended ceilings

✓ Sourcing and completion of all floor finishes

✓ Bespoke hospital furniture was manufactured and installed

✓ Full mechanical and electrical installation

Helix CMS ensured the furniture and hygiene solution requirements for the project were appropriate and fulfilled the needs of end users including patients, and hospital staff.

The highlight

To be part of delivering support to the NHS in the COVID-19 pandemic was a project the Helix team felt very proud to be part of and showed great tenacity and resilience to deliver this project under difficult circumstances.
