Glanclwyd Hospital

Woods has been successfully carrying out on-going works to the Glan Clwyd Hospital (the largest hospital in North Wales with a floor area in excess of 30,000m2) since early 2011.

The hospital is currently undergoing a well-publicised redevelopment and we have been an instrumental part of this process.

These works highlight our ability to deliver high value, complex project work whilst enabling the client to remain fully operational during our removal works. The project involves a significant amount of planning and we continue to work closely with all Stakeholders in order to best manage the phasing of the works to ensure site critical areas of the hospital remain fully operational, 24 hours a day

Asbestos Removal

We continue to remove sprayed asbestos costings applied to steel beams in every ceiling void throughout the hospital, whilst ensuring all hospital utilities such as power, water, gas and fire alarms are not compromised at any stage during the process.

The project requires us to create, manage and deliver a specialist supply chain including licensed scaffolders, hoarding contractors and trained asbestos electricians who must enter our enclosures to survey and then identify which services are live and which services can be isolated before removal commences.

Working 24/7

The project requires us to work weekends and out of hours and includes the provision of an emergency response service.

In April 2011 Woods were installed as the emergency call-out contractor for all asbestos works to the health board’s property portfolio which includes Glan Clwyd Hospital. This separate contract requires us to be on-site every day at Glan Clwyd and on-call out of hours every day 365 days a year with the commitment and ability to be on-site if required within 40 minutes of an emergency.
