Works are ongoing in Altnagelvin, and in particular, the most recent works on the Radiotherapy Unit and North Wing Extension have sustained our long-standing presence on this acute hospital site.
The new RTU building provides ground floor treatment rooms including 4 linear accelerator bunkers, MRI scanner suites, CT scanner suites, and plain x-ray, as well as first and second floor offices and respite care, bed wards and isolation suites. North Wing Phase 1 is complete having 72 of 144 single-bed wards occupied along with M&E Infrastructure and services. Work is well underway for Phase 2 with superstructure due for completion in September 2019 to allow services to commence installation and be complete by February 2020. Works on Altnagelvin Hospital also included the extension and refurbishment of the existing Chemotherapy Suite, the refurbishment of the ground floor of the Tower Block, and the construction of an underground car park.
We pushed for early engagement with our critical supply chain partners who understand the healthcare environment. We worked closely with them using their expertise alongside our own to ensure early agreement of the detailed programme and final coordination of M&E services within very confined distribution routes.

The coordination on the Altnagelvin was top drawer - no doubt we wouldn’t have got there without the professionalism, hard work and effort of Dowds Group.
