This purpose designed facility is part of the Governments Independent Treatment Centre programme, brought in to target reducing patient waiting times by increasing capacity within the NHS.

The centre contains a broad assortment of NHS services such as a Walk-In Advice Centre, X-Ray & Ultrasound facilities and a Minor Injuries Unit.

Mechanical & Electrical installations were completed on site in 27 weeks, one week ahead of programme and defect free, a major accomplishment for all involved.

The design content of this project involved the full Design & Build of the complete M&E services, including HV installation, Mains & Sub Main Distribution, Stand-by Generation, General Lighting, Addressable Emergency Lighting, Fire Detection systems, Access Control, Bedhead services, Nurse Call Systems, Medical Gases, Ventilation systems, Air Conditioning, UPS/IPS Systems.

The design was to achieve a workable M&E installation, fully compliant to both the British Standards and HTM Guidelines. To achieve this a high level of co-ordination, the design team members were required to ensure all elements of the M&E services were included, and specifically set out in various zonal areas.

The 2 storey facility containing numerous cellular spaces/areas on each floor required a fully addressable emergency lighting system. We designed a system that would report and print all test procedures including any failures via an installed software package to the FM company from which any corrective maintenance can be carried out.
