Royal Derby Hospital Car Park

CRL Refurbish MSCP at Royal Derby Hospital

Concrete Repairs Ltd (CRL) has completed the refurbishment of the car park 2 at the Royal Derby Hospital working for the main contractor, Skanska.  The scope of works included the removal of the existing deck coating, concrete repairs to the exposed deck and the application of 1800 square-metre of Triflex Propark HD deck waterproofing.

The Royal Derby Hospital was officially opened by Her Majesty, the Queen, and his Royal Highness, the Duke of Edinburgh, on April 1, 2010, on the site of the former Derby City General Hospital, following a £334 million transformation into the newest hospital in the East Midlands.  The Royal Derby has 1,159 beds and provide state-of-the-art care to around 1 million patients from Derby and its surrounding areas every year.

At the same time, the deck joints were re-sealed using WF250 and S100 Radflex expansion joints.  To ensure the integrity of the deck membrane, the vehicle barriers and cycle shelters were removed and re-fixed after the applicaiton of the new membrane.  This was a challenging contract during the height of summer, which required flexible working hours to lay the new deck membrane early in the morning when temperatures were lower.

The car park is situated immediately adjacent to one of the main entrances with limited access, so deliveries were undertaken out of normal hours.  Working in close collaboration with Skanska and the Estates department, this major project was successfully completed in 6 weeks and the car park returned to service.
