St Charles Hospital 136 Suite
The ground floor of St Charles Hospital was renovated to include a 136 suite, known as the HBPoS facility, and to relocate the hospital’s main reception.
Our Role
Under the CNWL Framework, we provided mechanical, electrical and public health design services to modify or replace the existing services to suit the architect’s layouts.
Our designs included the complete replacement of the lighting with efficient LED fittings and a dedicated heat recovery ventilation system in the assessment rooms. Other services were modified to suit the new layouts.
The Outcome
Relocating the main reception required careful planning of the main fire alarm panel, access control and security panels, ward lockdown controls, main telephone system, fire damper monitoring panel and many ancillary services, all of which were kept live throughout the project.
The hospital gained a modern 136 suite and a relocated reception without interruption to its critical life safety and security systems.
