Laing Management Contracting worked on the construction of Chelsea and Westminster Hospital on behalf of the North West Thames Regional Health Authority between 1989 and 1993. The new teaching hospital was built on the site of the old St Stephens Hospital, which was demolished in the early months of 1989. The use of fast track construction techniques enabled the entire project to be completed in less than 5 years. The hospital was officially opened by the Queen on 13 May 1993

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a unique perspective of the construction process at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in Kensington and Chelsea, Greater London. The image showcases a mast climbing platform in the hospital's atrium during the installation of internal fittings. Laing Management Contracting undertook the construction project on behalf of the North West Thames Regional Health Authority between 1989 and 1993. This new teaching hospital replaced the old St Stephens Hospital, which was demolished earlier that year. Utilizing fast track construction techniques, this ambitious project was completed in less than five years. The significance of this photograph lies not only in its depiction of a pivotal moment during the hospital's development but also in its representation of innovation and efficiency within the construction industry. The use of mast climbing platforms demonstrates how modern technology was employed to streamline processes and enhance productivity. On May 13,1993, Queen Elizabeth II officially inaugurated Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, marking an important milestone for healthcare services in London. Today, it stands as a testament to architectural excellence and serves as a vital institution for medical care. Preserved by A© Historic England Archive, this image offers us a glimpse into both past construction practices and historical advancements within healthcare infrastructure. It reminds us of our collective progress while honoring those who contributed their expertise to create such remarkable structures that continue to benefit society today.
