Taking our relationship forward: 2024–2027
In 2024, our contract with NHS Grampian was extended for a further 3 years until 2027. The health board was delighted with the control measures we had in place for health and safety, which they have used us as an example for other firms.
Projects undertaken in this period include refurbishment of the Blair Unit at Royal Cornhill Hospital in Aberdeen to ensure it meets current healthcare building standards. This £1.2 million package of works includes replacement of windows, refurbishment of bathrooms, ligature reduction, security features and redecoration. We will also add a multipurpose room to provide therapeutic space and family visiting accommodation.
A successful Measured Term Contract: 2021–2024
Over this three year period, Robertson delivered multiple improvements and minor works.
We employed a dedicated contract manager at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary (ARI) alongside a team working across the estate. Continually working in live healthcare environments, we paid special care to planning and executing works safely, particularly around the accident and emergency department and intensive care unit at ARI.
Other upgrades and refurbishments were made to wards and consultant rooms at the ARI, including £190k of fire compartmentation works in live operating theatres.
Driving safety and efficiency in live hospital environments
Working across healthcare areas including emergency departments and theatres, we have one chance to get things right, so prepare for activities through outstanding planning and programming.
There's no compromise on safety so from testing and installation to repairs, maintenance and refurbishment – our teams adhere to the stringent measures specified in HAI-SCRIBE in preparation for works, and regularly liaise with the NHS infection control team to further ensure compliance.
In a fast-paced healthcare environment, works must be timely. We have full access to a complete site set-up, including temporary internal hoarding systems, and equipment that assures the highest level of safety and performance. Through our partnerships with leading suppliers in health hazard control, we ensure work areas are contained, and dust migration and excessive noise mitigated.
We cross paths with staff, visitors and patients daily and make their safety a priority:
- Temporary internal hoarding to mitigate dust contamination and noise
- Battery-operated equipment to prevent tripping hazards
- Strict 'no tools left unattended' policy
- HEPACART for dust containment and above-ceiling works
- Pedestrian management systems
