Bouygues UK is delivering the new Diagnostic Treatment and Education Centre (DTEC) at West Middlesex University Hospital, a transformative £80 million healthcare project.
The five-storey, all-electric building will provide vital diagnostic and treatment services for cancer care, renal treatment, and imaging. Once complete, the DTEC will benefit residents across Hounslow, Richmond, and Ealing areas, helping to reduce waiting times and improve patient outcomes.
Bouygues UK has worked closely with the Trust, healthcare partners, and local communities throughout the project ensuring that the design has sustainability and innovation at its core. Key initiatives include an all-electric design to support NHS net zero goals and reduce carbon emissions.
The project also includes a state-of-the-art education and training centre to support staff development and recruit top clinical talent.
Increased Clinical Capacity
The project will significantly expand local healthcare services:
- Chemotherapy chairs increased from 10 to 18, enabling approximately 3,000 additional treatments over 10 years
- Dialysis chairs increased from 12 to 24, supporting 72 more outpatients per week
- Elective diagnostic capacity increased by 43%, translating to around 67,000 additional imaging scans over the first decade
These improvements will reduce waiting times, improve early diagnosis, and support better patient outcomes across multiple services.
SUSTAINABILITY AND INNOVATION approach
The site has been recognised for its sustainability achievements, receiving full marks from the Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS) including two additional innovation points. Highlights include:
- Reusable and recyclable hoardings and low-carbon concrete
- Use of recycled and reused materials
- Monthly carbon reduction meetings led by a dedicated carbon champion
- HP SitePrint Robot delivering greater efficiency, improved quality control, and enhanced coordination on site
COMMUNITY AND WORKFORCE BENEFITS
Bouygues UK has prioritised local skills and employment throughout the project, working closely with MIT Skills, the London Borough of Hounslow and JCP Hounslow to create apprenticeships, training opportunities and jobs for local residents. On site, initiatives also support health, wellbeing and workforce development, helping to create a positive and inclusive working environment.
