    Baden Cantonal Hospital focusses on local companies and sustainability

    Baden Cantonal Hospital (KSB) has carried out around 250 publicly tendered procurements over the course of the six-year construction phase of the new building. According to a press release, these tenders resulted in a total of 1066 contracts for work and services. The most recent tender was for the furniture. According to the KSB, the new hospital building lives up to the Swiss made label. 97 per cent of the 177 companies involved in the new building come from Switzerland. Only 3 per cent of the contracts were awarded to companies in Germany and Italy.

    A total of 25 per cent of the companies involved in the construction are based in the canton of Aargau and 40 per cent in the canton of Zurich. “We are proud that KSB has thus made a significant contribution to local and regional value creation,” KSB CEO Adrian Schmitter is quoted as saying.

    Thanks to the high presence of local companies, KSB has also set an example in terms of sustainability, Schmitter continues. “During the construction phase, it was above all a project of short distances for the trade companies involved. This resulted in various synergy effects,” says the CEO. This also applies to the time after commissioning, when reworking, maintenance or similar may be required.

    With a usable area of 76,215 square metres, the new building will offer around 30 percent more space than the building in which KSB has been housed since 1978. Commissioning is scheduled for the end of February 2025.

    The move should then be completed within five days. A total of 4571 cubic metres of medical technology and other goods will be moved, according to a KSB press release. This corresponds to the load of 76 lorries of 40 tonnes each.
