POCHIN TO BUILD PSYCHIATRIC UNIT AT DELFRYN LODGE IN NORTH WALES
26 January 2010
Pochin Construction, part of Cheshire-based Pochin's PLC, has been awarded a contract worth just under £3m to build a female unit at the existing psychiatric rehabilitation centre, Delfryn House in Mold, North Wales on behalf of Cambian Healthcare.
Cambian Healthcare is the largest provider of intensive psychiatric rehabilitation services in the UK and currently treats NHS Patients from over 60 different PCTs and LHBs.
Delfryn House currently provides 28 beds for male patients in need of psychiatric support. Pochin has been appointed to carry out the construction of a new 2,160 sq m adjoining care unit, Delfryn Lodge, to provide an additional 24 beds and recreational facilities for female patients.
On the new contract, managing director of Pochin Construction, Jonathan Pochin, commented: "Cambian Healthcare is the largest provider of intensive psychiatric rehabilitation services in the UK, so to win this job when tendering against three other contractors is great news for Pochin. Work started on site in mid September and is on schedule for completion by summer 2010. Once the construction phase is complete, we have also been appointed to undertake a specialist fit out throughout the new facilities to meet the needs of the residents."
