Press Release by INSO - Excavation works start for St. Maarten General Hospital (SMGH)

CAY HILL: After completion of the mobilization and preparation of the construction site of the St. Maarten General Hospital (SMGH) by the general contractor (INSO), the excavation works for the embankment and the retaining walls are currently in progress.

Local subcontractors have been engaged for these works and the delivery of equipment, and local suppliers have been used for the purchase of certain materials. INSO is committed to engaging the local know-how and availability of resources throughout the entire construction project for the new hospital and it is in this light that it’s inviting qualified companies to contact its local branch at 87 Octavius Richardson Road in Belair (telephone number (+1721) 524 1661 – email: info.sxm@inso.it), in order to participate in subsequent construction works and activities.

INSO is an international general contractor that realizes complex turn-key construction projects and supply of medical technologies in many countries. Currently INSO is implementing hospital projects in different European countries (Italy, France, Malta, Albania) and as well as in South America (Chile).

In the Caribbean region INSO has also carried out hospital projects in St. Lucia, Martinique and Guadeloupe. In line with company policy, INSO considers the importance of local involvement through engaging subcontractors and suppliers as a top priority as a means to stimulate the local economy. INSO also provides training courses in order to get all engaged parties up to speed with the established criteria of the construction project and as such engages in the transfer of specialized construction knowledge in all countries that it has ongoing construction projects.

INSO is expected to deliver the 110-bed fully operational St. Maarten General Hospital by 2024, hence the involvement of local companies will be for an extended period of time.
