4 Engineering Services

Pre-fabrication solutions reduced on-site activities by 40%

Imtech provided building services on Spire Healthcare’s

flagship, state-of-the-art hospital in Didsbury,

Manchester. The project team worked closely with

client, Vinci Construction, throughout the two-stage

tender period prior to contract award.

Programme Strategy The construction programme was developed early

with Vinci Construction, to ensure it reflected the

build strategy and created a joined-up approach. This

enabled the team to start on site with a clear picture

of how the project would be delivered. The strategy

was broken down into main service routes, floor plates

and plantroom areas, enabling the team to limit its

exposure to programme, understand risks and achieve

flexibility in delivery.

SolutionsUtilising pre-fabricated solutions enabled the team to

manage and mitigate potential labour productivity

issues and improve health and safety, by reducing

the need to work at height. Using this practical value

engineering approach from the outset strengthened

our relationship with the client.

Valued Supply ChainThe robust evaluation and selection of the supply chain

was another factor in the success of this project. Those

selected provided real benefit, bringing operational

excellence within their respective areas whilst working

in a collaborative manner with all stakeholders.

Spire Hospital, ManchesterValue: £12m


Delivered via the P21+ Framework

Imtech was appointed to provide and install the

complete, fully operational interfaced and integrated

mechanical services, public health systems and electrical

services to serve the new accommodation within the

extension of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).

ApproachThe team had to ensure the management of noise

levels and dust for the overall clinical environment

throughout the extension project, as the work was

taking place next to the current live NICU ward.

The proactive solutions implemented reflected our aim

of communicating with clinical staff and understanding

the challenges within this environment.

Solution

We were able to control and reduce noise levels by

installing a temporary acoustic wall between the

extension and the existing area. This had the additional

benefit of helping prevent dust from traveling from the

building site into the fully operational ward.

Constant communication on daily noise levels was

instigated by our team with the hospital staff. We also

re-routed services to limit noise adjacent to the live

ward and used hand tools to limit sound travelling

through the ductwork.

Over 8,000 patients treated in 2016 by Emergency Department

The Mater Hospital, Cork was the first new hospital

in the area for 30 years. Imtech was appointed to

undertake the supply and installation of the mechanical

and electrical services for the facility, along with

testing, commissioning and validation of all systems

and interfaces.

Infection ControlThe installation of the air conditioning within each

individual in-patient bedroom was completed to

the highest design and installation specifications, to

ensure the specified objectives of limiting the spread of

infections, such as MRSA and C.Diff, were achieved.

Challenging ScheduleThe 10-month programme proved the most challenging

aspect of the project. To overcome this the team

utilised off-site prefabrication for mechanical and

electrical elements including pre-fabricated pipework

sections, pump skids and electrical containment.

This approach reduced on-site installation times and

ensured the project was successfully delivered on time

and to budget.

Lean construction techniques implemented to ensure programme delivery

Rampton Hospital is a high-security psychiatric hospital.

It houses about 400 patients and is categorised as

a specialist hospital facility, with approximately

2000 staff on-site. The project was to refurbish the

mechanical and electrical systems within two blocks;

consisting of high-security residential wings and offices.

A new plant room was also constructed, utilising

existing infrastructure services.

Controlled EnvironmentAccess within the facility was tightly controlled, the

team liaised with the client throughout, minimising

any impact to daily activities. The anti-ligature areas

also presented challenges, due to all equipment being

subject to stringent physical testing.

Communication Communication was key to the success of this project.

Liaising with both the client and the main contactor at

all times led to a successful completion and developed

a strong working relationship. This directly led to

Imtech being appointed to deliver the mechanical and

electrical installation project at Rampton’s new Child

and Adolescent Mental Health Services unit.

Forward Planning Working within a secure hospital presented access,

security and scheduling considerations. With little

on-site storage available, deliveries were planned to

coincide with the installation programme on a just-in-

time basis.

Rampton Hospital, NottinghamshireValue: £2.5m


Long-term relationship has led to excellent collaboration

Imtech has been working alongside the Estates

Team at Cambridgeshire’s internationally renowned

Addenbrookes Hospital for over 30 years and have

successfully delivered many varied mechanical and

electrical projects across the site.

Continued GrowthAs part of the continued growth of the hospital our

engineers have undertaken numerous installation

projects to extend and expand wards, units and

departments including; Haematology, Histopathology

and Accident & Emergency. This has allowed the

hospital to increase availability of consultants, doctors

and practitioners creating additional clinics for patients

and reducing waiting lists.

Live EnvironmentMany projects within this busy clinical environment

have been delivered whilst an area has remained

operational. The experience gained and the

relationships forged over the years working within

the hospital, means our teams have the ability to

understand the requirements of each ward or unit by

working in collaboration with the staff. Resulting in as

little disruption as possible to the day-to-day running

of an individual department.

Continual independent monitoring and verification of savings by CEF Harrogate and District Hospital is part of the Harrogate

and District NHS Foundation Trust that cares for the

population in Harrogate and the local area, as well as

across North Yorkshire and Leeds.

Infrastructure ImprovementsImtech were appointed by Harrogate and District

Hospital, via the Carbon Energy Fund (CEF) framework,

to upgrade and improve its mechanical and electrical

infrastructure and deliver guaranteed savings of over

£15m in the next 25 years. Following the installation

project, Imtech’s technical facilities management

team are ensuring the guaranteed savings are realised

through optimisation of the systems via a robust

maintenance regime.

Innovative ApproachThe team took an innovative, holistic approach to the

design element of this project. By understanding the

whole system, they were able to implement innovative

solutions in a number of areas.

One example is the recycling of low grade waste

heat created by the main system. Usually lost into

the atmosphere, this heat is now rerouted to the top

deck of the hospital car park and reused within an

underfloor heating system to de-ice the surface. This

has created savings of approx. £25,000 per annum,

which would normally be spent on gritting this area

during the winter months.
