  • Strip out of existing kitchen fitments fixtures, including the breaking out of concrete plinths.<\/li>\n
  • Formation of a new door opening through a 750mm thick stone\/masonry wall involving a designed temporary works propping system.<\/li>\n
  • New partitioning and gyp Ceiling shaft system ceiling to create a fire compartment forming the new electrical switchroom including integral steel support frame structure<\/li>\n
  • Alterations to existing suspended ceiling system to form a new bulkhead forming containment to the new electric supply cables throughout the existing canteen.<\/li>\n
  • Installation of 2 new sub mains cables and containment above ceilings run 75m throughout the existinh hospital rooms and corridors.<\/li>\n
  • A full power shutdown of existing services affecting many essential services within the hospital.<\/li>\n

    In addition to the project being carried out in a live 24\/7 hospital, the kitchen facility and canteen remained in full operation throughout the entirety of the works, seven days a week requiring the majority of the project works being undertaken out of hours.<\/p>\n

    Despite a number of design and logistical challenges, all of which were collaboratively overcome, the project was successfully delivered to the highest quality, within budget and handed over defect free for a very satisfied client.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
