Over a three year period PEP acted as consultants for a series of 60 bed Nursing Homes within Hertfordshire, with some facilities including Day Care Centres.

The homes are Woodlands in South Oxhey, Vesta Lodge and Fosse House in St Albans, Hailey Hall in Hoddesdon, Great Brookmead in Borehamwood, Heath House in Bushey, Greenacres in Hatfield, Oakland Home in Potters Bar as well as sites in Baldock, Watford and a 20 bed extension to an existing nursing home in Hertford.

All projects were of timber framed construction on power floated ground floor slabs, some of which were suspended. Foundation solutions varied. As well as foundations and substructure works, PEP were also responsible site drainage schemes and access roads.

PEP were appointed by contractor Mansell on this Design and Build contract, to redevelop part of the Goodmayes Hospital site in north London to provide a 72 bed care home.

The building is of traditional construction, with loadbearing masonry walls supporting precast concrete floors. Foundations are of traditional trench fill construction.

The building was designed to accommodate concrete pod en-suite shower rooms.

PEP have been involved with a number of developments at the Luton & Dunstable Hospital, including:

Refurbishment and reconstruction of the Accident and Emergency Department, an extension to the Postgraduate Medical Centre to accommodate additional library space, IT skills training laboratory, plus seminar and meeting rooms. PEP was also responsible for the design of the link bridge between the main ward block and the hospital administration department, and the new extended Pathology Department offices above the mortuary.

PEP have been appointed by Hertfordshire County Council to prepare feasibility reports for the potential extension and/or refurbish of thirty existing Home Care/Nursing Home units across the county.
