MTX have been successfully appointed to supply, install and commission a new build modular extension to the Emergency Department at Medway Maritime Hospital. The scheme has been procured under P21 + with the principal contractor being IHP. The modular extension will be housed over three storeys with the third floor containing new plant to serve to entire scheme. The accommodation at ground floor will consist of seven new resus bays along with a new isolation department, majors and CCU assessment bays.
