New hospital in Chambéry

26 November 2010 - New contracts - France

The design-build contract for the new hospital in Chambéry (south-east France) has been awarded to a consortium composed of GTM Bâtiment et Génie Civil Lyon (leader), Dumez Rhône-Alpes, the Major Projects department of the regional division Rhône-Alpes Nord (VINCI Construction France subsidiaries), Cardem (Eurovia) and GCC. The new, 72,000 sq. metre facility, with six operating theatres and 671 beds, will extend over eight levels (including a 260-space parking level). The works will proceed on a extremely restricted urban site, right next to the existing hospital, which will continue to operate as usual. Demolition of the “Pavillon Jacques Dorstter”, the main building of the existing hospital complex, is the subject of a conditional contract, valued at €4.35m, and is scheduled to take place once the new building has been built.

Planning and the construction work will take a total of 49 months. Preliminary demolition works should begin in June 2011, with the earthworks relating to the shell construction starting in November 2011.
The contract is worth €150.6m, of which €139m for the construction work.
