Social Engineering
- a fresh dynamic for JMS (Part 1)
We are now a little over half way through
the construction of the new and much needed Medical Centre at Brownsover,
Rugby. Politically this has been a
proverbial hot potato that has left the residents of Brownsover without
local medical facilities since 2015.
The Brownsover Patients Action Group have
been understandably active in canvassing all quarters to get something done.
The plans for new facilities have been a long but financially shallow promise
causing great concern within this part of Rugby.
Mark Pawsey (MP) has been hugely
supportive, raising the problem in Parliament a number of times, lastly in
November last year when he addressed the Rt Hon Theresa May in PM’s Question
Time. She confirmed NHSE to be on the case and that action would be delivered
'soon'.
Soon was a long time coming but ‘ground was
finally cut’ at a ceremony on 16th February providing belated
Valentines wishes to the Brownsover Patients Action Group and the people of
Brownsover.
Construction is being undertaken by
Greswolde Construction to Civil and Structural solutions engineered by JMS
Engineers.
“To be involved in any engineering project is a challenge rewarded by the satisfaction
of our plans being implemented for the cost effective Civil and Structural
solutions we design. It is doubly rewarding when it means so much to a
community like this” said Bhavin Parmar of JMS Engineers (Midlands).
Amish Rana (who engineered much of the
finer details within the plans) totally endorsed the community service
satisfaction adding “...it was also an environmental feather in the cap that
the Brownsover project got an ‘Excellent’ certification from BREEAM.”
The Building Research Establishment
Environmental Assessment Method (thankfully acronymed to BREEAM). They assess
the asset’s environmental, social and economic sustainability performance,
using standards developed by BRE. Engineering solutions to deliver such high
specifications is indeed rewarding.
The £2.3 million development delivers 624
square metres of GP surgery and 100 sq m of community facility with parking and
landscaping.
Look out for the second part of this story. It will be less of a social and political observation and certainly more 'engineeringly correct'.

We add
