Dice was appointed to support the delivery of a major decarbonisation programme at Scunthorpe Hospital, helping transition the estate from traditional gas-fired systems to low-carbon electric heating infrastructure.

The scheme forms part of the Trust’s wider strategy to reduce carbon emissions and support NHS Net Zero targets. Works included the construction of a new Energy Centre building alongside significant infrastructure upgrades across the live hospital campus.

Delivering major infrastructure works within an operational hospital environment required careful coordination, planning and phased delivery to maintain continuity of critical services.

Key Challenges

  • Working safely within a live hospital environment
  • Coordinating enabling works, demolition and estate-wide infrastructure upgrades
  • Maintaining operational continuity during service transitions
  • Integrating new electrical systems and distribution networks within an existing estate
  • Delivering new workshops, warehouse and office accommodation alongside the Energy Centre

Engineering Solutions

Dice worked closely with the wider design team and Trust stakeholders to develop a coordinated civil and structural engineering solution tailored to the operational needs of the hospital.

Our involvement included:

  • Structural engineering design for the new Energy Centre facility
  • Coordination of external works and new service routes
  • Integration of new infrastructure within existing site constraints
  • Engineering support for demolition and enabling works
  • Development of phased solutions to minimise disruption to hospital operations
  • Infrastructure planning to support future estate decarbonisation initiatives

Supporting NHS Net Zero Objectives

The new Energy Centre was designed to provide long-term resilience and flexibility, enabling future expansion and supporting the evolving energy requirements of the hospital estate.

Through proactive coordination, risk management and expertise in live healthcare environments, Dice delivered practical and buildable engineering solutions that contribute to the Trust’s transition toward a low-carbon future.
