What we did
Ongoing passive fire maintenance and refurbishment works across multiple wards
Fire stopping of electrical service penetrations
Fire stopping of plumbing penetrations
Fire stopping of mechanical service penetrations
Remediation of existing penetrations discovered during refurbishment
What went well
Strong health and safety focus, which is essential in a live hospital environment.
What we discovered
Working in a busy fully functioning hospital requires waiting for approved access windows and access to the required penetrations before work can start or finish.
Making the next one easier
For healthcare work, coordinate closely with facilities teams and programme passive fire works around access windows and patient care activities.
