MTX Contracts has started construction on a major new diagnostics and treatment centre as part of the wider Llantrisant Health Park development in Wales.
“We are extremely proud to be partnering with the health boards to develop this exciting new facility, which represents a major step forward for healthcare in South East Wales,” said David Hartley, MTX Managing Director.
The Welsh Government approved funding for Phase 1 of the scheme in February, enabling the development of a Community Diagnostics Hub that will support regional collaboration and expand access to testing and treatment services.
The wider Llantrisant Health Park will transform the former British Airways Avionics Engineering site near Cardiff into a healthcare campus, comprising approximately 17,300 sqm of new-build space across three buildings.
Phase 1 focuses on the 7,500 sqm diagnostics hub being delivered by MTX that is set over three floors.
The ground floor will house MRI, CT, ultrasound and X-ray facilities, as well as endoscopy procedure rooms and associated clinical services.
The upper levels will include plant space and a dedicated training area, featuring an Endoscopy Academy designed to support regional workforce development.
External works and landscaping also form part of the initial phase.
MTX has been engaged from an early stage under a pre-construction services agreement, working with clinical teams and designers to optimise the scheme.
