Erasmus MC Awards Major Hospital Contract to BAM-Ballast Nedam Joint Venture

ROTTERDAM, Netherlands - Erasmus MC (the medical centre of Rotterdam University) has awarded the contract for a new hospital complex to a joint venture by BAM Utiliteitsbouw and Ballast Nedam Bouw Special Projects. The turf cutting ceremony will be in autumn. The contract value for this project amounts to 449 million euro. The joint venture expects to complete the building in 2017. The architects are EGM Architecten.

Ballast Nedam Bouw Special Projects and BAM Utiliteitsbouw will build the new university hospital on the site of the current hospital complex in the heart of Rotterdam. The new 185,000m2 buildings will provide facilities for health care, medical education and scientific research. The joint venture has commissioned BAM Techniek and ULC Groep to realise all mechanical and electrical installations. The joint venture has already started preparation works. Construction will be phased. The existing hospital will remain fully operational while construction of the new facilities is underway.
