PROJECT OVERVIEW
SCOPE OF WORK
- New LED Lighting Scheme:
An energy-efficient LED lighting scheme was implemented throughout the laboratory space to ensure uniform illumination and enhance visibility for laboratory staff. The installation of LED fixtures not only improved lighting quality but also contributed to energy savings and reduced operational costs, creating a bright and conducive working environment. - Suspended Ceiling and Stud Wall Installations:
A new suspended ceiling system and stud wall partitions were installed to enhance the aesthetics and functionality of the laboratory space. These installations optimized spatial organization, improved acoustic insulation, and facilitated the integration of essential utilities and services, contributing to a comfortable and efficient working environment. - Bespoke Laboratory Trespa Benching and Under Counter Storage Systems:
Customized HTM/HBN compliant Trespa laboratory benching and under-counter storage systems were supplied and installed to optimize workspace organization and hygiene. These bespoke solutions were meticulously crafted to meet the specific needs of the Pathology Laboratory, enhancing workflow efficiency and promoting cleanliness. - Laboratory Grade Vinyl Flooring:
Durable laboratory-grade vinyl flooring was installed to withstand the rigors of daily laboratory operations, providing a resilient and hygienic
surface that is easy to clean and maintain. The installation of laboratory-grade flooring enhanced safety and hygiene standards within the laboratory environment, ensuring a safe and sterile working environment for laboratory staff. - Plumbing and Drainage Requirements:
Specialized plumbing and drainage systems were installed to meet the unique operational needs of pathology analyzers. These systems were designed to ensure efficient waste management and minimize the risk of
contamination or cross-contamination during diagnostic procedures, supporting the accuracy and reliability of test results. - HTM Compliant IPS Wash Stations:
Hygienic Technical Memorandum (HTM) compliant Integrated Plumbing Systems (IPS) wash stations were installed to promote infection control and compliance with regulatory standards. These wash stations featured advanced hygiene features to facilitate effective hand hygiene practices among laboratory personnel, contributing to a safe and hygienic working environment.
