THE PROJECTS
The new Velindre Cancer Centre project comprises the design, construction, financing, and maintenance of the one of the most innovative oncology centres in Britain. With an estimated extension of 60,000 m2, it will serve over 1.5 million people in Wales.
The new facility aims to be a benchmark for cancer treatment and research, including the least common types. The project is grounded on the highest quality standards and a wide use of the most advanced technologies.
As part of our commitment to sustainability, we have proposed an efficient and sustainable design that respects the biodiversity of the area, while promoting the use of natural materials that reduce the carbon footprint. This design ensures a reduced number of interventions preserving around 60% of the area in 'wild' conditions.
In addition, the preservation of the species is ensured through monitoring and locating activities aligned with the hibernation cycles of the protected species. All of these actions will make the New Velindre Cancer Centre one of the greenest hospitals in the United Kingdom.
Crossfire have been employed by Sacyr to supply and install the passive fire protection throughout the hospital, as well as install acoustic barriers.
To enable a smoother construction phase, Crossfire initiated a Benchmark Wall which resulted in clear communication and transparency between the different sub-contractors.
This benchmark wall had a sample of the different penetrations penetration the fire rated partitions and floors, which allowed the different sub-contractors to iron out any queries they may have came across. The sample wall now allows a smoother construction phase and more clarity among the different trades on site.

Managing Director
I found the management of works by Crossfire to be very well organised. They collaborated well with the Elliott Team to ensure continual progress on site to tight schedules. Quality was excellent and delivered to a very high standard. The Crossfire App which they use for recording of the works to prove compliance with all building regulations is excellent and a great asset in BCAR Compliance.
Elliot GroupSenior Building Surveyor
I can state that the work carried out by Crossfire was to a very high standard, also of more importance, the contractor was very sensitive to the significance of the buildings they were working in and the need to carry out the works with minimum damage to the historic fabric. I am happy to state that no damage was caused and the work was carried out as planned, and to agreed costs and all workmen were courteous on site. I would have no hesitation in employing them again and would recommend them to other clients.
