Sutcliffe is proud to have received the Best Medium Project Award at the ICE North West Civil Engineering Awards, recognising our work on the transformative A&E upgrade at Arrowe Park Hospital.
This vital project centred on the expansion and modernisation of the hospital’s emergency department to better support both patients and healthcare professionals. The outdated Urgent Treatment Centre and staff accommodation buildings were demolished to make way for a larger, more efficient A&E facility. Key improvements included enhanced ambulance bays and a single-entry point, carefully designed to streamline patient flow and improve overall functionality.
From the outset, we prioritised minimising disruption to the hospital’s day-to-day operations. Our teams conducted surveys and site investigations outside of normal working hours, enabling us to design cost-effective foundations and a reinforced concrete floor slab without impacting hospital services. During demolition, we carefully preserved key structural walls, streamlining the refurbishment process and ensuring cost-efficiency.
The outcome is a modern, upgraded A&E department that will have a meaningful impact on patient care across the region. We would like to say a huge thank you to every member of the project team who were instrumental in delivering this outstanding project.
