Johnson Controls wins multi-million-pound hospital jobs
Johnson Controls has been awarded the £3.2 million contract for chillers and building-management systems for two new hospitals in the north of England. The projects are the refurbishment and update of Pontefract general Infirmary and the new general hospital at the Pinderfields site in Wakefield. Both projects are due for completion by 2010. A Metasys extended-architecture building-management system will control all plant in the two hospitals. Johnson Controls will also supply six York chillers to both sites. Johnson Controls has built up a strong relationship with the developer Consort Health Care, having been involved from conceptual planning stage. David St John-Clare, general manger for Johnson Controls’ systems branch, says, ‘It has been a long and very personal journey in securing one of the largest privately funded initiatives in UK history, and my team and I are very pleased to be involved in such a prestigious project, which will significantly benefit the local communities of mid and west Yorkshire.’ The £311 million contract to develop both hospitals is a joint venture between Balfour Beatty Construction Haden Young Construction and the Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust.For more information on this story, click here: Feb08, 126
