The Brief
Alliance Medical Leasing had an existing PET-CT facility at the Royal Surrey Hospital. When this was in need of additional capacity and upgrade, Alliance appointed a professional team including Project Management, Architect, Planners and M&E consultants to develop their brief to RIBA 2 in readiness for tender for a new facility on a nearby Research Park. Imaging Matters were invited to tender for the project and as their off-site construction partner, Medular took up the challenge.
| End User | Alliance Medical Leasing |
| Main Contractor | Imaging Matters |

The Challenge
The selected site was a vacant plot on the nearby Surrey Research Park, a major centre of excellence in technology, science, health, space and engineering. The plot required development from a brownfield including all new utilities and services, foundation piling, surface water attenuation, and all hard & soft landscaping for car parking, footpaths and surrounding green areas. To make it suitable for use by the general public.
The Solution
Our team worked as one with Alliance Medical and their Project Management team at Lee Wakemans to develop the final solution which went into production as the first project through our new factory in December 2021 and was delivered to site in early March 2022. The building comprised 13 modular units plus the entrance canopy. The modular solution was fully installed over a weekend to minimise disruption to other businesses and was completed in June ready for opening. We are sure you would agree that the results are stunning.
Our scope included the design, enabling works, off-site manufacture and on-site construction works to provide a full turn-key solution.
