Customer: Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology

Requirement: With extra resources allocated to cancer care, Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology needed additional office accommodation quickly for essential hospital support services, including Health and Safety, Information Technology and administration.

Solution: Having looked at other means of construction, including traditional build, a Portakabin Duplex building was selected for the new two-storey facility. The Portakabin solution was chosen because it could be designed, built and occupied in a very short space of time, with total flexibility to meet future accommodation requirements.

"It was the ability to deliver a building that would be fully operational within six to eight weeks that secured the contract. We needed high-quality office accommodation that could be tailored for our specific needs, and crucially could be occupied very quickly, which is exactly what was provided."
