Central Denmark Region is establishing The Danish Centre of Particle Therapy (DCPT) located at The
New University Hospital in Aarhus. The centre will be integrated in an interdisciplinary academic environment,
which combines the patient treatment at the best hospital in Denmark with the largest existing research centre of
radiation treatment in Scandinavia and the only centre for accelerator physics in Denmark. This long-term vision
of the proposed DCPT is to become one of world leaders within the field of research and treatment of cancer
by means of particle based radiation treatment. This type of radiation treatment is expected to get great influence
on the cancer treatment within the next decade.
DCPT will be placed on a site of approx. 9 000 m
University Hospital. The site is ready for the construction work to start now. The planned facility of approx. 8
000 m² must be equipped with one proton accelerator, three gantries and treatment rooms as well as 1
research, development and treatment room. DCPT is dimensioned for treatment of up to 1 500 patients per year
as well as integrated facilities for patients, relatives, clinical staff and researchers.
The present contract solely comprises the turnkey contract in connection with the establishment of the
overall facility/building excluding the supply of the proton equipment but including the constructional
installations required for support of the proton equipment.
The works comprise in outline foundation, in situ casting of concrete for radiation protection,
prefabricated element delivery and mounting, ventilation, plumbing and heating, power, cooling, fitting-out etc. as
well as architectural and engineering consultancy.
