Overview
The scheme involved the installation of new rooftop air handling plant and DX cooling, supported by new distribution boards and electrical containment. The refurbishment also required ceiling removal to gain access to ductwork, necessitating replacement of lighting, fire alarm systems, nurse call, and security services. Close coordination was required to deliver the works in a live hospital environment, ensuring patient safety and uninterrupted operation of adjacent clinical areas. All works were fully designed to Stage 4 by SHA, with the contractor developing installation drawings for approval.

SHA provided full mechanical and electrical design services including ventilation and AHU specification, DX cooling, pressure stabilisers, heating systems, and BMS controls, alongside electrical distribution, lighting, fire detection, nurse call, and structured wiring. Our design allowed for phased strip-out and replacement of services, temporary diversions, and compliance with NHS HTMs and Building Regulations. Detailed specifications, tender drawings, and coordination processes ensured that the installation was delivered to a high standard, with systems fully commissioned and integrated into the hospital’s estate infrastructure.
