We wanted to take a moment to update you on some changes to our construction schedule. After working closely with the Shared Regulatory Services for Cardiff Council, we have come up with a plan to help minimise disruption and unnecessary delays to ensure the new Velindre Cancer Centre is operational to support those who need it most, at the earliest opportunity. 

We have collated a list of activities and timeframes which grants out of hours working to allow the construction programme to remain on track. The approval was granted on Monday, February 11th. We apologise that we did not communicate this to you earlier. In addition to the approval for extended hours of work until Easter, any works required to be done outside of typical working hours (8am – 6pm) will be communicated through the newvelindre.info and the new Acorn/Sacyr Community Platform, which you can register using the link below: 
https://acorn-sacyr.dreams-lms.org/rcd/login.php

Once you have registered, you will be kept up to date with notifications for proposed works and we will make every effort to give you at least 48 hours' notice before such works commence.

On occasions, we will be starting work at 7am. Certain construction activities that do not create loud noise, such as assembling rebar and formwork, moving equipment, and pouring concrete may occur some Saturdays between 1pm and 6pm.

To ensure the tower cranes are effectively utilised during working hours and to prioritise the health and safety of our workforce when the bulk of works are taking place, additional logistics, liftings, clean up and preparation works may be required after the main construction activities are completed. These works have been approved to take place between 6pm and 10pm weekdays. Finally, there will be some large concrete pours and concrete finishing works associated to specific elements of the infrastructure which will be infrequent.

Further details regarding the approved section 61 agreements can be found here.

Sacyr UK, in partnership with Acorn, has launched an innovative online community platform designed to enhance collaboration, develop skills, and drive social impact around the new Velindre Cancer Centre.
Julie Morgan MS, Senedd Member for Cardiff North, officially introduced the platform at an event in the Pierhead Building, Cardiff Bay, with charity associates, local councillors, voluntary organisations, and supply chain partners in attendance.


The platform connects community residents with the project and the people building it. Supports social, voluntary and community organisations linking them with volunteers, and offers employment opportunities to local job seekers, provides access to a tool library, while offering STEM tutorials and more. With this initiative, Sacyr UK aims to leave a lasting legacy beyond construction, strengthening collaborative bonds and creating new opportunities for the South Wales community.


As part of the ACORN consortium, Sacyr is delivering the nVCC—set to be one of the UK’s most sustainable hospitals. The centre will not only provide advanced treatments but also lead nationally and internationally in cancer education, research, and innovation. Construction is set for completion in 2027.

One of the crane lift supervisors working on the new Velindre Cancer Centre project is 72-year-old Barry Fabian. 
Barry works for sub-contractor MPS Crane Operators and reaches the ripe old age of 73 in January, but still loves coming to work each day on site and helping to build this state of the art health facility. 


We caught up with Barry and asked him what keeps him working in all weathers on a building site, when most people his age are long retired. 
“I just enjoy working. Of course, the money comes in handy too and one of my daughters is heading to Melbourne to live next year and so I’m saving up to give her a good start over there, but also, I enjoy it. 


“I’m not much of a drinker, but I do go out for the company here and there, but not in pubs as such, so it’s great to come to work and get to spend the days with and chat with a good bunch of people.”


Barry has been working on building sites up and down the country for around 55 years and says he loves the job: “It keeps me fit and healthy, but obviously sometimes it’s not as good when you have to get up in the morning in the really cold weather or pouring rain, but all in all I enjoy it.”
Most of MPS’s team on site here at the new Velindre Cancer Centre are in their 20s to 50s, but Barry says that adds to the attraction of staying in work in his mid-seventies.


“They are a good bunch and we have a wide spectrum of experience here and so some do look up to me I suppose and ask about my experience and knowledge in the industry. “It’s nice to see them listening, learning and progressing and I enjoy helping them with that.”


Barry and MPS will be on site for the duration of the project while the crane works are finished and we at Sacyr UK wish him, and the MPS team, all the best on their next project and hope to see Barry continuing to work and sharing his expertise for many years to come.

A key member of Sacyr UK’s social value team, Hannah Davies, attended the Welsh Labour conference in Llandudno earlier in November.

Hannah Davies, the Head of Social Value for People Plus Wales – an organisation that helps support people into employment, and employers grow through socially responsible recruitment – has been seconded to Sacyr UK two days a week as its Workforce Development Co-ordinator. She leads on socially responsible recruitment for the project. 


During the conference, Hannah had the opportunity to engage with the First Minister of Wales and several key Labour party members. She discussed her work at People Plus as well as Sacyr UK and discussed the launch of People Plus’ Social Recruitment Covenant. The Covenant is a commitment from organisations and businesses to implement inclusive business practices, aimed at reducing employment barriers for people facing societal disadvantages.

 
The agreement called "Together We Can Make a Difference", focuses on supporting employers hiring from disadvantaged groups while leveraging social value initiatives to create a more diverse and equitable workforce.


 Sacyr UK has signed the agreement, pledging to adopt inclusive business practices that support long-term unemployed people (LTU), those not in education, employment, or training (NEET), and disadvantaged workers in south east Wales as part of the new Velindre Cancer Centre (nVCC) project.
Hannah will remain working on the project until completion of the Cancer Centre and will support Sacyr UK in employing a more inclusive and diverse workforce.

Staff from Sacyr UK, the contractor building the new Velindre Cancer Centre (nVCC), donned their Christmas hats to help play Father Christmas as part of an initiative to help The ToyBox project.


The ToyBox project is an initiative that asks supporters to donate unwanted toys at drop off points, or organise their own donation drive, and then distribute the toys to children who might be going without this Christmas. It works with the NHS, charities and community groups to donate as many toys as possible and keep them out of landfill.


The Community Benefits team at Sacyr UK held its own donation drive and asked staff and subcontractors to collect and donate any unwanted toys – which they did in their droves. 


Katie Hathaway, Sacyr UK’s stakeholder engagement and community benefits manager at nVCC, said: “We were overjoyed by the outpouring of support from our wider project team at Sphere Solutions Ltd, Breedon Group plc, and colloborators at DENVALCO LIMITED
“We have shown that by coming together and lending a helping hand, we can make a real difference to children who may have gone without this Christmas. It is through partnerships like these that we can create a brighter future for our local community”.


Special thanks also go to Aleksandrs Novozilovs of Tredomen Ltd who stepped in on Sunday afternoon to collect a vast amount of toys from various locations in his pickup.


James Morgan, Director of The ToyBox project, added: “We are deeply grateful to everyone involved, who were able to quickly gather an incredible amount of toys to gift to local children who might not have received anything this Christmas. Your swift and generous response exemplifies how companies and communities can unite efficiently to ensure that no child goes without a gift.


“Toybox Project operates year-round, providing toys to hundreds of children each week. This act of collective effort not only brings joy to many young hearts during the festive season but also sustains our mission throughout the year. We hope that this shining of example of teamwork will inspire others to join us in 2025 and beyond, helping us reach even more children in need and keeping toys out of landfill”.

Members of Sacyr UK’s, the contractor building the new Velindre Cancer Centre, Community Benefits team visited the Pear Tree Federation at Coryton Primary School, in Cardiff, to donate 50 advent calendars. 


The advent calendars were donated, in partnership with leading aluminium windows and doors fabricator Denval Ltd, to the Foundation’s pantry, which will then be donated to any families that are struggling to make ends meet this Christmas, enabling those children to still have an advent calendar to count down to Christmas day. 


The Pear Tree Federation is an initiative set up to support Tongwynlais and Coryton Primary Schools. 
Katie Hathaway, stakeholder engagement and social value manager at Sacyr UK, said of the initiative: “Social value is at the heart of everything we do here at Sacyr UK and so being able to donate these advent calendars to families who might not be able to afford to get one for their children this Christmas, matches our ethos perfectly. 


“Making small gestures like this can make a huge difference to those who might go without and so it was a pleasure to work with the Pear Tree Foundation and Denval on this donation”.

We expect to complete the concrete pour within working hours, although will require three power floaters on site working overnight up to 8:00am on Tuesday 10th. Depending on weather conditions we may also be working extended hours on Thursday 12th overnight until Friday 13th at 8:00am, and will update you accordingly.

Dear local residents and community members,

We are aware that there have been concerns raised about the cranes as a result of the storm. Once we were aware of the weather forecast for the weekend we put a plan in place to ensure the site could cope with the expected bad weather and remain safe for all.

Our construction team has conducted a thorough check of the site today and we can assure you that everything is safe. The team will continue to monitor the site over the weekend.

We are also aware that there have been an intermittent alarm sounding on one of the cranes, which has just been turn off. This is as a direct result of the wind speed. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

We thank you for your understanding and cooperation during this time.

Elena Castro, Construction Director building the new Velindre Cancer Centre said ‘We understand how important these lights are to bringing joy to the community during the dark winter months, and we are grateful to have been able to contribute to their continued presence this year. On behalf of the project team and our supply chain, we wish the local residents of Whitchurch a joyous holiday season filled with Christmas cheer!’.

We will be working extended hours on Thursday, November 29th to continue with work related to the concrete pouring to achieve the standards required. We expect to complete the concrete pour within working hours, although will require three power floaters on site working overnight up to 8:00am on Friday.


Please stay tuned for more information on upcoming concrete pouring. We appreciate your understanding and support during this time of critical foundations.


Thank you for your cooperation and patience as we strive to provide you with the best experience possible. We look forward to completing this project successfully and continuing to keep you informed throughout the process.

The team at Sacyr would like to express our gratitude to Breedon Group for hosting a productive morning session to discuss the HGV movements for the Concrete required to support the new Velindre Cancer Centre. The concrete will be coming from three local RMX plants based at Tongwynlais, Cardiff and Newport, with aggregate and cement supply coming from Taff's well quarry, Cardiff wharf, and Theale & Port Talbot. Special thanks to Cllr Marc Palmer for attending to learn more and support his constituents, as well as Cllr Mike Jones-Pritchard and Chair of Tongwynlais Community Council, and Nadine Dunseath as Clerk. It was an informative session and a great opportunity for community engagement.
