Velve appeals court ruling related to Stradins Hospital's new procurement
The Latvian construction company Velve is appealing a court decision over a procurement dispute with Stradins Hospital regarding the completion of the A2 building, which remains unfinished due to prior construction issues.
The ongoing architectural project for Stradins Hospital in Latvia, specifically the new A2 building, has been mired in controversy due to significant delays and construction defects that surfaced back when the original contractors, Velve, were involved. Initially, this new facility was intended to house various crucial medical departments, including surgery rooms and an intensive care unit; however, it has been plagued by issues such as mold, which has raised stark concerns about safety and compliance with health standards. A dispute arose, leading the hospital to unilaterally terminate its contract with Velve, citing a failure to meet deadlines and other substantial defects in construction.
