Under the expert management of Marc McManus, SRS completed a comprehensive refurbishment of the St George’s Hospital – South West London Pathology Laboratory. The project modernised the laboratory environment to meet the evolving demands of clinical diagnostics, enhancing workflow efficiency, safety, and infection control. This turnkey refurbishment delivered a modern, HTM/HBN-compliant workspace designed for high-quality healthcare delivery.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
SCOPE OF WORK
Heating and Cooling Systems
Advanced air conditioning systems were installed to maintain optimal laboratory temperatures, ensuring the integrity of specimens and supporting precise diagnostic work.
3-Phase Electrical Upgrade
The laboratory’s electrical distribution was upgraded to 3-phase power, accommodating high-demand equipment while ensuring stable, reliable, and safe operations.
LED Lighting Installation
A full LED lighting scheme improved visibility, reduced eye strain, and lowered energy consumption, creating a sustainable and productive working environment.
Suspended Ceilings and Stud Walls
New suspended ceilings and stud wall partitions optimised space, improved acoustics, and facilitated the integration of essential utilities, promoting a functional and ergonomic laboratory layout.
Bespoke Laboratory Benching and Storage
Custom Trespa benching with under-counter storage was installed to provide hygienic, durable surfaces and organised workspaces, improving workflow efficiency and safety.
30-Minute Fire Doors & Frames
All doors and frames were replaced with 30-minute fire-rated units, enhancing fire safety and protecting personnel, equipment, and critical laboratory assets.
Laboratory-Grade Vinyl Flooring
Durable vinyl flooring was installed to withstand heavy use, chemical exposure, and rigorous cleaning, offering slip resistance and supporting infection control protocols.
Specialist Plumbing and Drainage
Plumbing and drainage systems were designed to meet the needs of pathology analyzers, ensuring efficient waste management and minimising contamination risks.
HTM-Compliant IPS Wash Stations
Integrated Plumbing System (IPS) wash stations, compliant with HTM standards, were strategically installed to promote effective hand hygiene and infection control.
OUTCOME
The refurbishment delivered a modern, efficient, and safe laboratory environment fully compliant with HTM/HBN standards. Bespoke benching and storage optimised workflow, while upgraded electrical, HVAC, and lighting systems enhanced operational reliability. The laboratory now benefits from improved infection control, ergonomic design, and enhanced safety measures, supporting staff efficiency and the accurate, timely processing of specimens. SRS’s turnkey approach ensured minimal disruption and on-time delivery, positioning the laboratory as a future-ready facility capable of meeting the highest clinical and operational standards.
