• More than 10,000 tons of steel is being used to build the new hospital – that is equivalent to the weight of 83 blue whales and, if you consider the heart of a blue whale to be the same size as a hatchback car, that's a lot of steel
• Approximately 225,000 cubic metres of ground will have been excavated – that's enough to fill 90 Olympic-sized swimming pools
• About 55,000 metres of concrete foundation piles have been bored into the ground – which is 35 miles, or roughly the distance from Birmingham to Worcester
