As part of a Laing O’Rourke contract, Broxap was tasked with the design, manufacture and installation of six bespoke canopies at the hospital. The canopy designs were to form a major focal point for the hospital, some of which needed to interface to the main structural steelwork of the building. Due to the required build phases and a restriction of the areas available to the Principal Contractor, Broxap was required to build the canopy in two separate phases; separated by 12 months. This required extensive surveying detail at the initial build phase to ensure an accurate match-up upon commencement of the second phase of construction.

• Y-shaped elliptical tubular supporting columns
• Standing seam roof
• Aluminium ‘secret fixed’ shadow soffit system
• Bull-nose fascia detail
