Project Description
As Guernsey’s principal healthcare facility, the Princess Elizabeth Hospital required a major expansion to support the island’s growing healthcare needs. Hambleton Steel was appointed to deliver over 11,000m² of structural steelwork, forming part of an ongoing multi-phase investment in the hospital’s infrastructure.
This earlier phase of development demonstrated our ability to manage complex logistics and technical demands with precision, ensuring delivery to exact specification and within tight programme constraints.
Challenges l Solutions
Situated on the Channel Islands, the project presented unique logistical challenges. Every load of fabricated steel was transported from Portsmouth to Guernsey, requiring meticulous planning and coordination between our fabrication team, shipping partners, and on-site installation crews.
To maintain the project schedule, steel was dispatched in erectable batches, allowing for direct installation upon arrival.
Construction took place within the operational hospital site, demanding strict adherence to health and safety protocols and minimal disruption to ongoing medical services. Close collaboration with the main contractor and hospital management ensured that all works were completed safely and without impacting daily operations.
Despite the complexities of transport and site constraints, the 20-week erection programme was delivered seamlessly, reflecting our team’s commitment to precision planning, quality workmanship, and timely execution.

Skilled and supportive on managing the quite large number of changes on design during construction stage.
The team was consistently attentive, productive and always willing to go the extra mile to help wherever possible.
We were exceptionally impressed with the way Hambleton Steel incorporated with our design team to produce a suitable and robust design which reflects in the operational performance on site.
Earning industry experience and a qualification has been invaluable. Not every opportunity gives you on-the-job experience and I've found that this has really helped my development
One of the reasons I chose an apprenticeship was because I could earn and learn at the same time. Working at Hambleton Steel has provided me with day-to-day training and experience which has helped me understand the industry and business.
