Access hatches and smoke vents supplied by Bilco –
www.bilcouk.com – have been installed at one of the largest centres of health science and medical research in Europe.
Three roof access hatches that will act as smoke ventilators in the event of a fire were delivered for roofing installation at the Medical Research Council’s Laboratory of Molecular Biology at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge.
A new building to house the molecular biology laboratory is being constructed on the Cambridge Bio-Medical Campus site and is due for completion in 2012. Managed by the University of Cambridge, the site is funded by organisations including Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, the Wellcome Trust, Cancer Research UK and the Medical Research Council.
Over 90 per cent of all fire-related deaths are due to smoke inhalation. With the automatic REM units in place on the laboratory roof, if fire breaks out they will automatically open to a full 140 degrees to rapidly disperse heat, smoke and noxious gases.
The REM units, each measuring 1,000mm x 1,500mm, were supplied with associated equipment including dedicated back-up control panels, fireman’s switches and smoke detectors.
When smoke is detected the REM vents automatically raise to the fire open position. The vents are operated by a fire control panel for opening and closing which is triggered by smoke detectors or the alarm being raised.
With Bilco REM hatch units the open area remains unobstructed which allows easy access to the roof for essential maintenance – meeting current legislation requirements EN12101-2 and BS5588. Work in the laboratory focuses on understanding biological processes at the molecular level. This knowledge is used to tackle specific issues and investigations into human health and disease. The new building is being constructed by BAM Construction and replaces the existing laboratory after 50 years of use.
Building & Facilities Management – March 2011
A continuous supply of purified water is critical within hospitals, for applications such as: boiler feed, renal dialysis and
decontamination/sterile service suites. Water supply can be disrupted during plant upgrade or building improvement works, but ELGA Process Water’s Aquamove team has a range of mobile water solutions, which are available on short to long term hire. These solutions can provide an independent supply of purified water to help you to maintain full service/operation with no disruption to patient treatment.
