The Health Board is planning an ambitious major Capital Programme to improve its hospital buildings, build new facilities in the community, and invest in more cutting edge medicine, including:.

At Prince Charles Hospital in Merthyr Tydfil, work is due to commence shortly on the development of an expanded Neonatal Unit and Maternity service which will deliver high quality modern facilities for mothers and babies across the community. This will be followed by the next phase of the programme of refurbishment of the ground and first floor of the hospital which will continue over the next few years.

Following an intense period of joint working with local GPs, the Local Authority and Third Sector, the plan is for this model to provide GP as well as community, social services and third sector collaborative services under one roof including district nursing and health visiting services.

The structural ceiling provides support for medical hoists, services and access throughout the roof space for maintenance, without compromising the clean spaces below.

The building is located adjacent the south western corner of the hospital and required extensive underground drainage works to relocate existing car park drainage, petrol interceptors and attenuations tanks.

These were all upgraded to contemporary standards in the process. Allowing for emergency ambulance access from multiple directions further complicated the site conditions. Located near to the River Ely floodplain, the project required modelling to demonstrate to Natural Resources Wales that the Unit would not have a detrimental effect during flooding.

A coal authority report indicated deep mining had been undertaken at the site as recently as the s, requiring extensive ground investigations to be carried out at an early stage of the development.

The ground condition was analysed and assessed to be suitable to be used to found the building, thus simplifying construction, reducing costs and embodied carbon over a deep foundation solution. Completed
