Migdale Hospital contractors pick up award

The company who built the new Migdale Hospital have won an award for the high standard of the site during construction.

Infrastructure, support services and construction group Robertson picked up a silver award in recognition of its excellent standards of consideration towards neighbours, workforce and the environment in the recent Considerate Constructors Scheme National Site Awards.

Under the awards scheme construction sites are monitored and assessed to ensure they meet the scheme’s code of conduct and are run in a way that shows consideration to neighbours and the environment and minimises any disruption to the surrounding community.

The £8 million new hospital at Migdale provided 22 beds in two units – one for older people with mental health problems and the other providing GP-led beds. The hospital also now offers a range of in-patient services, including palliative care, general medicine and less intensive rehabilitation services.

Robertson Business Development Director Raymond More said: “I would like to commend the team who built Migdale Hospital for continuing our fine record of performing to high construction standards.

“We constantly strive to be responsible neighbours at all our construction sites and I’m delighted that our efforts have been recognised.”
