The National Cancer Institute, which will be located in Santiago de Chile, will have a usable area of 90,000 square metres. It will have 249 hospital beds, including those for intensive care, neutropenia and haematology.
The project’s planned facilities will be equipped with all the equipment necessary to provide cancer diagnosis and treatment services, such as radiotherapy, which will require the construction of 8 accelerator bunkers.
It will also include 2 brachytherapy bunkers, a high-tech radiology service, 13 operating rooms and everything required to provide outpatient hospital services.
Sener: multidisciplinary project coordination
Sener is responsible for coordinating this project, as well as for BIM management, the quantitative study and coordination of various disciplines such as structural design, landscaping, radiation protection, waste management (urban and hospital), paving and insertion measures in urban areas.
Our extensive experience in the field of designing nuclear plants and the associated technology was key for our inclusion in the consortium, as this knowledge is very useful when designing oncology facilities.
We also have a strong track record with regards to hospital engineering and architecture. A recent example is the New Hospital in Malaga, which will become the leading healthcare facility for acutely ill patients in the region. It will stand out for its high level of specialisation and sophisticated health technologies, as well as being an efficient, highly technical and bioclimatic building.
The construction and subsequent operation of the National Cancer Institute of Chile will be the responsibility of OHLA, as the project is part of the hospital concession programme in Chile.
The project will see total investment exceeding $250 million, and the estimated date of construction is 2027.
