YORKON has been awarded a £10m hospital contract in one of its most complex projects to date.

Kier Eastern has awarded the contract to the York-based Portakabin subsidiary, for the off-site construction of a building at Colchester General Hospital, in Essex.

Designed by Tangram Architects, the £20m project is the biggest development in the hospital’s history and will increase capacity in time for the peak winter period.

It will accommodate a new paediatric department on the ground-floor and an elective care centre and surgical ward on the upper floor.

Yorkon is manufacturing and fitting out the building off site, in York, and will install it in two phases to allow an existing ward facility on the site to remain in use for longer.
