success. In the case of the new Royal Papworth Hospital, those suppliers responsible for the fire alarm, building management systems, damper, and duct work, worked closely together from the outset. During the design process, for example, frequent project meetings were held on site, where representatives of the suppliers came together with Skanska’s construction team and Troup Bywaters + Anders to discuss design issues and integration requirements. Early engagement made a huge difference to the progress of the project. Our early engagement, working alongside TB+A and the whole design team through the pre-construction phase, meant we could provide detailed advice on our system, rather than a generic product being built into the scheme at a very early stage. This meant that by the time we started construction, we already had a robust design. Other than fine tuning, the design work was complete well before the groundwork of the building had been finished. Having worked on a significant number of healthcare projects in the past, I can honestly say that I’ve never known a Trust to be as involved as the Royal Papworth NHS Foundation Trust was in this particular project. From the very early stages of design, through to operational


Make Yo A The TB+A view


Terry Canty, partner at Troup Bywaters+Anders, said: “The new Royal Papworth Hospital was a challenging and really interesting project to be involved in, particularly given the need for the high level of interfacing between the different elements of the fire engineering systems. Close collaboration between the Trust, Skanska, ourselves, and the equipment suppliers, definitely played a key role in the successful development and installation of the system. “All parties were very willing to collaborate, so meetings were really productive, and everyone was up to speed on progress and able to quickly address any design challenges. With everyone on board from the outset, and in regular contact throughout the design phases, there was no repetition of work, and we could be sure that the finished product would deliver what the original design intended.”


requirements and detailed zone labelling requirements, the Trust was happy to engage on all matters.


System interfacing


One of the biggest challenges Static Systems had to address during the design process was the significant requirement for the site-wide fire alarm system to interface with different systems – including the dampers, air-handling plant, and smoke extractors – in order to provide a completely integrated system that manages the air flow and smoke extraction to safely direct smoke

throughout the building. Static Systems developed the fire alarm cause and effect, incorporating the damper operation, of which there are several hundred. By closing the dampers they act as a barrier in the ductwork, and contain the fire by stopping fire or smoke spreading. Then, once the fire is extinguished or is being managed, the fire brigade can, if required, open the smoke dampers via the control panel to safely extract the smoke. All of this required in-depth consultation with TB+A and the different suppliers involved. With different systems and equipment being installed simultaneously, there was
