HUHFT require a full refurbishment of the existing Intensive Treatment Unit (ITU) and Surgical Centre (SC). The refurbishment includes replacing all of the Mechanical and Electrical infrastructure and equipment that service the two areas, including the construction of a new housing for all the plant.

To ensure continuity of care throughout the redevelopment, this is planned to be a two stage build approach, SC in summer/autumn 2022 and ITU in spring/summer 2023, with both the existing main ITU redeveloped as well as the current ITU within the Surgical Centre.

Despite the significant scale of the works that need to be undertaken this is restricted in a very small footprint that will need significant planning and liaison with all involved at HUHFT. Flexibility and precision planning will be needed for the construction phases.
