Go Awards 2020
NHS Louisa Jordan
NHS National Services Scotland have won an Excellence Award and NHS National Procurement, NHS Health Facilities Scotland and NHS Louisa Jordan have won a Covid 19 Outstanding Response Award at this year's Go Awards in Scotland. Hulley and Kirkwood were proud to be part of the delivery team on the Award Winning project.
The NHS tasked the PSCP Contractors on the HFS Framework to build an Emergency Hospital at the Scottish Event Campus within 3 weeks. The project involved the complex design of an emergency hospital that delivered 1036 Intensive Care and High Dependency care beds, ancillary care support spaces and staff areas.
Hulley and Kirkwood carried out a rapid and detailed evaluation of the existing mechanical services within the SEC to ascertain their working condition and suitability for use to serve the new clinical areas. Once this evaluation was complete we utilised our extensive healthcare sector knowledge and experience to quickly strategize and deliver robust design solutions for the mechanical services within the SEC.
A new ventilation pressure cascade regime was designed and implemented to ensure the correct direction of air flow from clean to dirty areas. This required extensive recommissioning and repurposing of the existing Air Handling Units along with a comprehensive testing and validation process to prove the systems operated as designed. This work was carried out whilst significant new ventilation plant was introduced to supplement the existing systems. Upgrades and modifications were made to the BMS to ensure the systems operated safely.
The existing water services were extensively modified to ensure that all new clinical outlets were served from tanked and boosted water supplies. This was to ensure the hospital had a continuity of supply in the event of mains water failure whilst offering back flow protection to the existing mains water infrastructure. Existing water services systems were modified and upgraded to ensure they were suitable for functioning within a hospital environment.
Hulley and Kirkwood chaired daily Water Management Group and Ventilation Group meetings to ensure all works were tracked, reviewed, approved and coordinated with the programme. There was a daily site presence from our design team and NEC3 supervisors from project inception to project completion.
In addition, Hulley & Kirkwood provided medical gases Authorising Engineer service under direct appointment to HFS which saw the facility include one of the Scotland's largest VIE plant and a bespoke system to support over 1400 medical gas outlets.
Hulley and Kirkwood worked tirelessly with the Contractors, project management team, Infection Control, Health Facilities Scotland, NHS, Authorising Engineers, other design consultants and project architects, Keppie Design, to ensure an integrated and coordinated design solution was achieved and installed that successfully satisfied the clients brief.NHS National Services Scotland have won an Excellence Award and NHS National Procurement, NHS Health Facilities Scotland and NHS Louisa Jordan have won a Covid 19 Outstanding Response Award at this year's Go Awards in Scotland.
