Major enabling works for the New University Hospital Monklands development in Airdrie, Lanarkshire, have continued at pace over the past year.
Laing O’Rourke has completed significant groundworks and delivered social value benefits to the local community.
During the past 12 months, workers excavated enough soil to fill 120 Olympic-sized swimming pools and drilled 2,280 holes to depths of 20 metres as part of a programme to stabilise the ground ahead of construction of the new hospital.
The project has also generated more than £135,000 in social value through a range of community initiatives, including toy and clothing donations to local groups, educational engagement with schools, support for local employment opportunities and other community-focused activities.
