SPONSORED BY HEALTH SECTOR NEWS BES wins £1.75 m Weston Park D&B scheme
BES, the ‘specialist in sophisticated healthcare, pharmaceutical, and cleanroom facilities’, has been awarded a £1.75 million design and build contract for a new pharmacy and aseptic suite for chemotherapy and clinical trial/ emerging therapy at Weston Park Hospital in Sheffield.
The company will be principal designer and principal contractor for the project, which it says builds on its ‘formidable track record’ in designing, engineering, building, and commissioning complex healthcare environments. Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust awarded the project to BES following a detailed NHS procurement
process, with the company’s bid scoring high on both cost and quality – including price, project delivery, and health and safety criteria.
The project involves the strip out, redesign, and refurbishment, of an existing pharmacy facility on the hospital’s sixth
floor. During an initial 14-week design phase the BES team will work collaboratively with the client to develop a detailed design based on its requirements, improving the flow and spatial efficiency of the initial brief. BES has already helped the Trust to identify value engineering opportunities appropriate to the classification of each area, with modifications to the HVAC and finishes that it says will reduce build and operational costs and carbon footprint. Together with new offices and change areas, the new facility will contain four isolator suites and associated change rooms designed to comply with EU GMP Grade C.
Trainer celebrates 94 per cent pass rate on new wiring standard construction’ have been training with it
Develop Training is celebrating after electricians on its courses achieved a 94 per cent pass rate against the latest national wiring standard.
The company says candidates from across the UK ‘from some of the country’s biggest names in utilities and
to meet the new 18th Edition Wiring Regulations (BS7671:2018).
Matthew Gray, Operations manager, said: “We’ve rolled out training in the new standard across all our centres across the UK, putting our training within easy reach for our customers nationwide, and are also providing courses at customers’ own premises. We’re thrilled that our candidates are achieving such a high pass rate.”
Develop Training provides training on the Regulations at its seven centres in two forms – the standard three-day course for most candidates, and a one-day refresher ‘for those with the most up-to-date previous qualification’. It expanded its
electrical lecturing team last year to meet growing demand for training in the new Regulations, and on ‘smart meter’ installation.
The 18th Edition IET Wiring Regulations book was published last summer, and the Regulations came into force on 1 January 2019. They apply to the design, erection, and verification of electrical installations, and additions and alterations to existing installations. Develop Training said: “The 18th Edition has introduced comprehensive changes in areas including protection against over-voltages and fire, as well as electrical embedded heating. A new section covering energy efficiency has also been introduced.”
