Museum of London appoints Sir Robert McAlpine
10 May 2023We are thrilled that Museum of London has appointed Sir Robert McAlpine as Construction Manager on the museum’s new Smithfield site, due to open in 2026.
Integrated Health Projects (IHP), an alliance between VINCI Building and Sir Robert McAlpine has started site trials of a robot site printer at Derby Kingsway hospital.
This robot sets out and prints drawings onto the floor slabs, making the process much quicker and more efficient.
Our IHP team at Derby Kingsway hospital has been working on this project for some time, trialling a few prototypes before the launch of the HP Site Print in the UK.
The aim of the project is to improve the layout and design of healthcare facilities, making them more efficient and cost-effective. With the help of this robot, the team hopes to achieve this goal by significantly reducing the time it takes to create floor plans. This is the first time the final product has been used on a construction site globally.
The HP Site Print robot is an exciting development in the construction industry and the trials at Derby Kingsway hospital have shown how it can significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of floor plan creation.

It was Digital Construction Manager, Sassi Stark’s proactive approach to seeking new companies that provide innovative new methods that led her to HP and the site trials. She conducted desk research for suitable robot print providers and connected with HP Site Print who had previously been training Derbyshire based geospatial surveying company, Greenhatch.
