CDM Regulations 2007 : Wave 5 Linear Accelerator, Ninewells Hospital
LOCATION: Dundee
CLIENT: NHS Tayside
STATUS: Complete
COST: £6M
As part of our NHS programme to provide an additional five cancer treatment machines throughout Scotland, a new linear acceleration was installed at Ninewells Hospital in Dundee. WAF provided planning supervisor and then CDM Co-ordinator services following the legislative change in April 2007.
The installation involved the construction of a new bunker to contain the radioactivity on a site constrained by a hospital access road, 900 mm water main, and the existing cancer treatment centre. The works had to be phased to ensure the ongoing cancer treatment and minimum disruption to adjacent works.
