Scope of work

  • Operating theatre and diagnostic imaging shielded rooms
  • Medical gas, HVAC and electrical services coordination
  • Standby power, water treatment and waste management infrastructure
  • Campus roads, parking and ambulance access
The challenge

What made this difficult.

  • 01

    Construction took place inside an operating hospital campus with continuous patient and ambulance movement.

  • 02

    Noise and vibration limits applied during clinical hours in adjacent wards.

  • 03

    Imaging room construction required tolerances and shielding details outside standard building practice.

The engineering solution

What we did about it.

  • 01

    A segregated construction access and hoarded compound separated all site traffic from ambulance and patient routes.

  • 02

    Percussive and high-noise activities were confined to agreed windows, with monitoring at the ward boundary.

  • 03

    Shielding installation was carried out by a specialist subcontractor under an inspection plan agreed with the equipment vendor.

  • 04

    Handover was staged by floor so that outpatient services could be commissioned before the building was fully complete.
