The Midland Regional Hospital in Tullamore is a modern live acute hospital campus. After a successful prequalifying and tender process we were selected as the preferred tenderer for the project based on both our experience and also commercial offering.

The project consisted of a new MRI scanner, control room, Tech room, plant room, coms room, five bay recovery area, Anaesthetic prep area, three ultrasound rooms, consultants offices, waiting areas, changing areas and reception area.
