The project for Pura Diagnostics, managed by Liam McManus, involved the ambitious transformation of an existing industrial unit into a state-of-the-art Clinical Pathology Laboratory workspace. This comprehensive project focused on creating a facility tailored to the precise needs of diagnostic testing and research, ensuring that the new laboratory meets the highest standards of functionality, safety, and compliance.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
SCOPE OF WORK
- Conversion and Design:
The industrial unit was meticulously converted into a fully functional Clinical Pathology Laboratory. This process involved detailed planning and layout design to optimize the workspace for efficient workflow, ensuring that the facility could support advanced diagnostic procedures with maximum efficiency - Air Flow and Ventilation System:
A sophisticated air flow and ventilation system was installed to maintain optimal air quality and circulation within the laboratory. This system is crucial for preserving the integrity of samples and equipment, ensuring that the environment remains stable and controlled for sensitive diagnostic work. - Heating and Cooling AC Systems:
Modern heating and cooling air conditioning systems were integrated to regulate the laboratory’s temperature, providing a stable and comfortable environment for both personnel and equipment. This system ensures that temperature-sensitive materials are protected and that staff can work in a climate-controlled setting. - Sanitary Facilities:
The addition of new toilet and WC facilities within the laboratory space provided essential amenities for staff, enhancing comfort and convenience during long working hours. These facilities are strategically placed to support the needs of laboratory personnel. - Electrical Power Installation:
A new 3-phase electrical power system was implemented to meet the high power demands of advanced laboratory equipment. This installation ensures a reliable and uninterrupted power supply, crucial for maintaining the continuous operation of sophisticated diagnostic tools. - LED Lighting Scheme:
A comprehensive LED lighting scheme was installed throughout the laboratory to provide bright, uniform illumination. This lighting upgrade not only improves visibility but also offers energy efficiency and longterm cost savings, creating an ideal environment for detailed diagnostic work. - Ceiling and Wall Installations:
New suspended ceilings and stud wall installations were added to enhance the laboratory’s structure. These improvements contribute to the facility’s modern aesthetic while providing flexible spaces for the installation of equipment and utilities, supporting future adaptability. - Fire Safety Measures:
The installation of new 30-minute fire doors and frames throughout the facility significantly enhanced the laboratory’s safety standards. These measures ensure compliance with fire safety regulations and provide
critical protection for both personnel and valuable equipment. - Laboratory Grade Vinyl Flooring:
Durable, laboratory-grade vinyl flooring was installed to provide a hygienic and easy-to-maintain surface. This flooring is designed to withstand heavy foot traffic, chemical spills, and the demands of a
busy laboratory environment, ensuring a clean and safe workspace - Plumbing and Drainage Requirements:
Specialized plumbing and drainage
systems were integrated to support the operation of pathology analyzers and other laboratory processes. These systems ensure the efficient disposal of waste and the smooth operation of all laboratory equipment, maintaining overall functionality. - Hygiene Stations:
HTM-compliant IPS wash stations were installed to promote rigorous hygiene and infection control within the laboratory. These stations are
critical for maintaining a sterile environment, encouraging proper hand hygiene practices, and reducing the risk of contamination during laboratory procedures.
CONSLUSION
The successful conversion of the industrial unit into a Clinical Pathology Laboratory for Pura Diagnostics marks a significant advancement in the facility’s capability to conduct cutting-edge diagnostic testing and research. Through the integration of modern systems, bespoke installations, and strict adherence to industry standards, the transformed laboratory is now equipped to support innovation and excellence in healthcare delivery. This project reflects Pura Diagnostics’ commitment to providing top-tier diagnostic services, ensuring that the facility is both future-proof and fully equipped to meet the demands of modern pathology.
