🌷 Green Spaces and Bright Places at Carleton Clinic 🏨 Tracey Sopp, the Managing Director of NTW Solutions, visited the Estates Department at Carleton Clinic to see firsthand the work being done to transform the estate. NTW Solutions have taken over the management of the estate and is addressing a backlog of maintenance, developing compliance systems and assurance controls, and professionalising the system by moving maintenance plans from a paper-based system to our established digital platform. Tracey visited Rowanwood Ward, which has recently been refurbished by the Estates Team and various contractors. The ward has been transformed both inside and out, including repairs to the timber cladding on the building’s exterior. The transformation was so thorough that a contractor on site recently thought the building was brand new. Inside, the building has been completely redecorated, creating a bright and pleasant environment with new furniture. To avoid a more complex move of patients that would have been needed for longer works, the job was completed in just four weeks. Tracey heard that it felt very much like an episode of Changing Rooms, with contractors and workers vying for space as floors were laid while walls were being painted at the same time. She saw how refurbishment incorporated patient feedback on colours and decoration, building on our expertise in maintaining mental health environments. Some maintenance jobs were being done for the first time ever such as washing the rubber safety floor in the courtyards, which was thick with dirt. Despite having a jet wash, these floors are quite tricky to clean and were meticulously cleaned inch by inch over a long period. Additionally, a capital scheme is taking place at Rowanwood, and the estates team ensured that the refurbishment matched the specifications so that the building will feel unified once completed. Tracey also chatted with some of the clinical staff on site, who praised the bright new environment. On her way to Rowanwood, Tracey also visited the newly planted areas at Carleton Clinic, where she learned about the planting of a wildflower meadow, with 50,000 bulbs and hundreds of thousands of seeds having been planted. NTW Solutions manages the estate at Carleton Clinic for Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust which provides clinical services on the site.

Hospital building structure

🌟 Project Highlight: Oriel Eye Care Centre, London, UK 🌟 Located close to St Pancras and Kings Cross Stations, the Oriel Eye Care Centre is being built to deliver accessible and essential eye care services. The build required a riser void solution that was easy to install, had sustainability in mind and reduced air traffic between hospital floors, thereby minimising the risk of cross-contamination between wards—a crucial consideration in healthcare settings.  Bouygues UK choose the Dura Riser Cast-In Modules for the riser fall protection element of this project. Cast-in to concrete as a fully structural solution to reduce the risk of death or serious injury. The modules are pre-fabricated with the grating added to the framework, facilitating rapid installation. 🟡 Enhanced safety features: Featuring an EN13501 Class B fire rating and an anti-slip surface tested to withstand over 1 million footfalls, the modules offer exceptional protection for both construction workers and future building occupants. 🟡 Effortless installation: Being 33% lighter than similar solutions, these modules simplify installation by reducing manpower and cutting down on fitting time. 🟡 Sustainability: With 33% less embodied carbon than comparable products and a design life of 60 years, these modules provide a long-lasting, environmentally friendly solution. 🔗 Learn more about this project: https://lnkd.in/egP9ZfXU #highrise #grp #composites #construction #sustainability

Imagine handrails as more than just a convenience; they are your silent partners in navigating bustling spaces, especially in crowded areas filled with steps and staircases. Often overlooked, these unassuming structures provide the assurance needed to confidently move through overwhelming flows of people. In the healthcare realm, however, handrails transcend mere convenience - they are indispensable safety features - playing a critical role in averting accidents like slips and falls. Strategically installed in hospitals, healthcare clinics, and care homes, handrails empower patients and residents to move safely and independently. Like other essential building components, handrails must adhere to specific code requirements and fire regulations and not every handrail fits every building.  Let us try and simplify it for you. To guide architects, hospital capital planners and care homes facility managers in making informed decisions, we’ve outlined key aspects of handrail construction in our Explainer: https://hubs.li/Q02XWqn30 At Belroc, we offer personalized project consultations to illuminate the nuances between meeting code requirements and elevating your space with the proper design enhancements.

Modern methods of construction (MMC) are fundamental to the Hospital Building Programme. One thing we have learned from the residential sector is that the stop-start nature of housebuilding is not conducive to maintaining the operation of high tech #volumetric #modular factories In our latest article, Jackie Maginnis CEO of the MPBA points out that Westminster needs to consider the wider implications of delayed delivery of public projects https://lnkd.in/eFwuqhP7 (pages 58 - 59) #mmc #modularconstruction #modular #construction #buildbetter #nhs #hospitals #news #mpba #offsite #offsiteconstruction #manufacturing
