Shepherd constructs state-of-the-art radiotherapy centre in London

from ContractJournal.com:

>>Constructing one of the most advanced treatment centres in Europe, Shepherd is working in a deep basement with bunkers surrounded by the densest blocks available to control radiation. James Stagg reports.

The new building (pictured) could be no taller than the original five-storey structure so the building had to go deeper rather than higher.

When dealing with technology that delivers state-of-the-art radiotherapy for the treatment of tumours, construction quality and safety has to be of the highest order.

Start date: February 2008

End date: November 2009
