Futurecon was awarded the contract for the supply and erection of the Light Steel Framing for the internal and external walls and roofs – clad, lined and insulated with windows installed. They had to complete the project in 10 weeks between July and September 2020. The project entailed the supply of 10,000m2 of hospital wards and associated buildings, housing beds in general wards and in high and intensive care. The foundations were supplied by Concor.

1,000m2 of hospital buildings per week had to be handed over. The delivery demands were maintained, barring two weeks when they were not allowed onto the site due to disturbance caused by the local communities. The installers of the services found installation in the LSF walls very easy and quick, as there was no cutting and chasing of masonry walls required. They were able to carry out their work in tandem with the LSF project teams, speeding up the completion of the final project. Even before this project was finished, enquiries were received to upgrade the existing Jubilee hospital, and to supply hospital buildings in sub- Saharan Africa.”
