title: A&E project was 'like completing a jigsaw'.
abstract: 'One of the most complex multi-phase construction projects I have ever worked on', is how main contractor Mansell's Neil Rowlands, project manager on a 17 million sterling pounds project to re-build and extend the Accident & Emergency Department and Fracture Clinic at Essex's busy Basildon University Hospital, describes the now almost completed ProCure21 scheme. HEJ editor, Jonathan Baillie recently visited the impressive new facility, to find out more from Mansell, the Trust, and architects, Nightingale Associates, about the challenges faced during a 20-phase construction project so well planned and executed that only a single 'stop notice' was issued throughout the 30-month programme - and this only when a patient's condition made it absolutely necessary.
