Following success of the backlog maintenance scheme (see above),
awarded this project to upgrade fire protection to the ageing hospital.
Due for completion in June 2020, works are carefully programmed around
live ward access to ensure full hospital operation as usual and the comfort of
patients. Much of the works are out of hours and planned around clinical
care needs. Project is divided into 4 main parts:
Fire Doors: replacement of 190 fire door sets and the maintaining of 50 more
to bring up to specification, using FDIS accredited installers.
Fire Stopping: detailed surveys and rectification of all fire zone partition lines,
with wall & floor penetrations filled. Fire Alarms: Working with the trust
specialist to upgrade the detection and alarm system to all areas.
Emergency lighting: installation of 500 new fittings to meet regulations.
