IHP to expand The Royal Oldham Hospital

For the fourth time, Integrated Health Projects (IHP), the joint venture formed by VINCI Construction UK and Sir Robert McAlpine, has been awarded a contract by the Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust. This latest contract is for the third phase of the programme to extend The Royal Oldham Hospital, Manchester.

Worth £32.8m (€38m), the project calls for the creation of a maternity and neonatal unit. It will involve the construction of a new, 11,500 sq. metre building, and refurbishing a further 2,700 sq. metres.
The works began in mid-November and are due for completion in December 2012.
