The Rosie Extension - June construction update

Main extension

Excellent progress has been made with the concrete structure during June. The ground floor and second floor slabs have been poured and work is well underway to form the supporting columns for the third floor. Over the next 2-3 weeks the third floor slab will be formed.

 

 

Basement link corridor

Also this month a hydraulic machine was used to break down concrete as part of the basement corridor construction. Apologies to patients and visitors who may have experienced increased noise during this work.

 

Robinson Way

Temporary traffic lights will be installed in front of the construction site from Tuesday 5 July for three weeks. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

 

'Flat out in the Fens'

Farrans Construction and project colleagues successfully completed a 112-mile cycle ride on 26 June to increase awareness of the Rosie Campaign and to raise money for the Rosie courtyard garden refurbishment. It's not to late to sponsor them:

A development to be proud of ... "The Rosie Hospital is a fantastic facility of which we are very proud, but it is busy, particularly with mums in labour, those who need ante-natal care and with sick or premature babies. We have a wonderful masterplan for the whole campus, and this extension is the first testament to that vision. I would like to thank everybody involved with getting the project to this exciting stage." Dr Mary Archer, Trust Chairman    "The Rosie has the fantastic reputation of being one of the best performing maternity units in the UK, but it has become rather overwhelmed by an incredible demand from our local population. This extension will bring all the elements together for a world-class facility which provides safe and effective care, promotes choice, underpins research and education and leaves a legacy for future generations." Mr Gerry Hackett, Divisional Director for Women's and Children's Services
