Off-site build speeds mortuary completion.

A new mortuary and bereavement facility at one of North Wales's largest acute hospitals, the Ysbyty Glan Clwyd near Rhyl, formed from 16 steel-framed modules that were manufactured off site, and subsequently craned into position to greatly speed project completion, was delivered 'well below original cost budget, four weeks ahead of schedule', by turnkey construction specialist, MTX Contracts. As HEJ editor, Jonathan Baillie, reports, this is MTX's second substantial project in the past two years at Glan Clwyd, reporting to the principal contractor on a major redevelopment programme currently ongoing at the hospital, Laing O'Rourke.
