Liverpool Women’s Hospital – NeoNatal Unit

Liverpool Women's Hospital NHS Foundation Trust

Sutcliffe was responsible for Civil, Structural, and Site Investigation services for the Neonatal Intensive Care (NICU) extension at Liverpool Women’s Hospital, part of a P22 framework scheme. The project involved extending the NICU with a significant first-floor addition, requiring a detailed approach to both structural and environmental engineering.

Sutcliffe provided comprehensive Civil, Structural, and Site Investigation services for the Neonatal Intensive Care (NICU) extension at Liverpool Women’s Hospital, part of a P22 framework scheme. The project involved a significant first-floor extension designed to enhance NICU facilities with advanced structural and environmental features. Sutcliffe’s contributions included the design of the steel frame structure, integration of cantilever beams and trusses, and the engineering of piled foundations. Additionally, we developed external works and a bespoke Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDS). Our environmental investigations supported the planning submission, ensuring both architectural and environmental requirements were met.

We designed the steel frame structure, incorporating cantilever beams and trusses to meet the architectural design specified by Gilling Dod. Our team engineered the piled foundations and developed external works, including below-ground drainage systems. A bespoke Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDS) was implemented to manage surface water effectively.

Environmental investigations were a critical component of our work, including a Phase I desk study, Phase II intrusive site investigation, and a Phase III remediation strategy. These studies supported the planning submission and ensured that all environmental and regulatory requirements were addressed.

Sutcliffe’s comprehensive engineering solutions were integral to the successful completion of the NICU extension, aligning with both structural and environmental standards.
