The Rosie Extension - May construction update

Basement link corridor

The excavations for the link corridor walls, using a large piling rig, have been ongoing for a number of weeks, but we are delighted to report that this section of work is now complete. The remaining road will now be excavated to create the link tunnel.

 

 

Main extension

There have been ongoing excavations and pouring of concrete for the foundations, floor and walls for the basement as well as pouring the concrete to create the ground floor slab and columns. The drainage for the ground floor has also been installed.

 

 

Rosie Extension – phase 2

The Rosie project steering group is currently reviewing the plans for the refurbishment of an area on level 3 of the Rosie that will be vacated when activity is transferred into the new extension. The ‘phase 2’ plans include the creation of an operating theatre suite and additional antenatal / postnatal beds.

 

Following a review of the requirements, a business plan will be submitted to the Capital Advisory Board for their consideration. The remaining vacated space within the Rosie will be subject to a separate evaluation process.

 

Further details will be made available on how this space is to be allocated, in due course.
