COVER STORY: High-quality estates: a hybrid MMC approach

MTX Contracts has officially broken ground at Wycombe Hospital and Llantrisant Health Park – two transformative healthcare developments which are the latest in a string of projects delivering new facilities and improved patient care across the UK.

At Wycombe, MTX is set to create a landmark 15,000m² six-storey building that will allow Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust to move core services out of the aging Wycombe Tower Block, which is unfit for long-term use.

Key civil works will formally start this month to prepare the site for the new facility, which will be created using 298 precisely engineered structural steel modules factory manufactured off site – just one element of the Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) used to create the new building.

The purpose-built development will deliver a range of vital services including cardiology, stroke-care, operating theatres, and critical care in future phases of the project. The first new clinical facility – an Endoscopy Department – is planned to open in 2027. The co-location of existing services into the new facility will provide clinical accommodation to improve clinical adjacencies, efficiencies, patient safety, and enhance the patient and staff experience.
