Andrew Scott Ltd has completed the Princess of Wales Hospital project for its client, Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board.
The project began in October 2024 on a 41-week programme. The comprehensive works encompassed more than 12 clinical and support areas, including six operating theatres, Intensive Therapy Unit (ITU), Theatre Recovery Unit, Ophthalmology Ward, Orthopaedics Ward, the main hospital street and multiple plant rooms.
Key upgrades included extensive mechanical and electrical (M&E) enhancements, fire prevention system improvements, emergency lighting upgrades, installation of new IPS/UPS systems, medical gas infrastructure, medical trunking, surgeons’ control panels, specialist lighting and pendants and full interior refurbishments including; ceilings, flooring to all wards and departments which also included the first floor main corridor, wall and door protection and decoration.
Additionally, the firm delivered new and refurbished workstations, modern recreational areas, and fully equipped kitchens, including commercial grade facilities. Windows and manifestations were replaced throughout the facility to improve both energy efficiency and patient comfort.
A significant component of the project involved the replacement of over 10,000m² of the existing hospital roof. This included new soffits, fascias, gutters, downpipes, lightning protection systems, photovoltaic (PV) panels and the reconfiguration of the main hospital plant room level corridor’s slabbed flat roof sections.
Mark Bowen, Managing Director of Andrew Scott Ltd, said:

Despite evolving requirements, we maintained continuity of care, minimised disruption to hospital operations and delivered a high-quality outcome for our client.”
Jason Williams, Assistant Head of Operational Estates at Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board, said:
“We had the pleasure of working with Andrew Scott Ltd on a complex roof replacement project that encompassed other targeted improvements works.
