Ramboll to lead design for new children’s cancer PTC
Ramboll has been appointed lead consultant for the design of the new Children’s Cancer Principal Treatment Centre at Evelina London Children’s Hospital, by Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust. The global engineering, design, and sustainability consultancy will provide a full range of multidisciplinary advisory and design services, with sub-consultants providing further specialist support. This includes collaboration with ADP Architecture for architectural and lead designer services, with further specialist services from GL Hearn, Art in Site, Thornton Tomasetti, and
Safer Sphere. The project will involve a multi-phased approach to ward decants and department remodelling across three separate buildings. Design solutions will align with the
Trust’s Sustainability Strategy Net Zero requirements, covering plant selection, renewable energy, water management, air quality, and material use.
There are currently 13 Children’s Cancer Principal Treatment Centres (PTCs) in England providing specialist care for children aged 15 and under with cancer. Following an NHS England-led decision-making process, Evelina London Children’s Hospital has been chosen as the future PTC location for south London and much of south-east England. The hospital is now working closely with patients, families, its own staff, and staff from the existing service delivered by The Royal Marsden and St George’s Hospital, to plan the safe transfer of specialist cancer services to it. James O’Brien, the Children’s Cancer Principal Treatment Centre operational delivery director, said: “As with our award-winning Children’s Day Treatment Centre, designed by ADP Architecture, we will involve children, families, and staff, in all elements of the design and planning.”
Keraflo joins BAFSA following ‘landmark’ fire valve accreditation
Keraflo, which specialises in water management solutions for commercial and public buildings, has joined the British Automatic Fire Sprinkler Association (BAFSA), in a move it says signifies its commitment to enhancing fire safety standards in the UK. It comes in the wake of its accreditation from
the Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB), which it says ‘underscores the quality and reliability’ of its Fire Valves – reportedly the industry’s first to receive such recognition under the stringent requirements of LPS 2083. The ‘milestone’ aligns with BAFSA’s ‘mission’ to promote the highest standards of fire safety through automatic fire sprinklers. “Joining BAFSA is a
natural progression for Keraflo as we continue to innovate in the field of fire safety,” said Keraflo MD, Richard Braid. “With the LPCB accreditation of our Fire Valves, we’re setting a new standard in the industry, and BAFSA membership allows us to further advocate for safer, more compliant, fire protection systems.” BAFSA is the UK’s leading trade association for the promotion of fire sprinkler systems. Alasdair Perry (pictured), the Association’s CEO, added: “BAFSA
is proud to represent, promote, and enhance the manufacture, installation, and maintenance of automatic fire sprinkler and water- based fire suppression systems in all buildings, across all sectors, with the highest degree of competence and professionalism. We have a strong focus on educating and training our members, influencing industry stakeholders, and promoting the benefits that fire protection systems provide in saving lives, property, and businesses.”
