PFI Consortium: Carillion Plc

Client: Swindon and Marlborough NHS Trust

Sapa Building Systems completed the £900,000 contract to supply windows and curtain walling for the spectacular Great Western Hospital in Swindon.

Swindon’s new hospital is amongst the first UK health care projects to emerge under the Private Finance Initiative (PFI) guidelines - the government’s plan to encourage private participation in the non-clinical and capital components of its national health care system.

Working to strict timescales, Sapa Building Systems’ dual colour windows were supplied direct to Trent Concrete - producers of pre-cast concrete panels - for fitting off-site by one of Sapa’s fabricators and installers.This approach significantly reduced on-site installation time.
