Sweett : January 6, 2016 Sweett Group appointed on Residential Care Facility in Drogheda, Co. Louth

January 6, 2016

Sweett Group, the provider of professional services for the construction and management of building and infrastructure projects, has been appointed by Health Services Executive (HSE) to provide quantity surveying services on a residential care facility in Drogheda.

The project will include the redevelopment of the existing HSE campus at St. Mary's Boyneview to provide 100 HIQA compliant beds. The outline plan anticipates demolishing one of the existing residential care centres, refurbishing an existing centre and the phased construction of two new facilities, to accommodate the new 100-bed brief. In addition, there will be new residential courtyards, landscaped gardens and associated campus site infrastructure works, which will incorporate links and lifts between all three buildings.

The entire project totals approximately 6,000m². The works will be phased, due to cashflow constraints and the requirement to maintain the existing centre 'live'. Once complete, the residential care facility will provide a range of healthcare services including respite, transition, palliative and long-term care, together with support for people with dementia.

Colin Smyth, Project Lead at Sweett Group, said: 'We are delighted to be appointed on this noteworthy project, which will make a significant difference to the health needs of the people of Louth and the wider community. Sweett Group has a strong track record in the health and residential sectors, and we have once again provided HSE with a professional team who have extensive experience of delivering complex multi-phased healthcare construction projects in both acute and non-acute settings.'

The project was secured from the National HSE Framework, which is for non-acute healthcare projects ranging in value from €5-20m.
