| Project Title | Bupa: Goldbridge Care Home (Sussex) |
| Client | Bupa |
| Location | Haywards Heath, Sussex |
OVERVIEW
The Goldbridge is Bupa’s new flagship care home that occupies an idyllic position overlooking Beech Hurst Gardens in Haywards Heath, Sussex.
It provides residential, nursing and dementia care with all the design, build and interior finish made with residents in mind.
The purpose built 64-bed facility includes a multi-purpose activities room, cinema, beauty salon and landscaped gardens.
The project saw the end client – Bupa – reap the benefits of the integrated structure of the G&H Group with two divisions working together on the scheme.
CHALLENGE
Sections of the plant room and associated pipework was built offsite by G&H Fabrication and delivered to site at the required time, speeding up the mechanical and electrical process, reducing on-site congestion and increasing quality levels.
SOLUTION
G&H Building Services and Fabrication were instrumental in the design and build of the mechanical and electrical services.
As part of a pre-designed scheme, our Building Services division installed heating, ventilation and air conditioning, lighting, water services, automatic controls, small power, fire alarm and data. A 63sqm solar panel roof array was installed on a ballasted mounted system and then connected, which will provide 10,623kWh of energy every year.
RESULTS
By integrating two complementary G&H divisions, we were able to co-ordinate the entire process, execute the installation to a consistently high standard and save a significant amount of time for the contractor.
