Gilberts delivers form and functionality in healthcare reform “fi rst”
The Rutherford Diagnostic Centre Somerset in Taunton is the fi rst to open in response to recommendations made in an independent review, recommending such facilities be created in free-standing, accessible locations to provide quicker and easier access to patients. Phase 1 of the new facility provides two MRI rooms, two CT scan rooms and an ultrasound room, equipped with cutting-edge diagnostic equipment and cannulation rooms plus support consulting rooms and reception. Throughout the MRI Scan suite areas, a combination of Gilberts’ DGA4 louvred face diffusers and GECA egg-crate grilles, specifi cally manufactured in non-ferrous material and plastic PX extract valves have been used to provide compliant quality and volume of air in line with latest NHS guidance HTM03-01. In non-treatment areas and other clinical spaces, mild steel versions of the DGA4 and GECA units supply fresh, fi ltered air which is extracted via Gilberts’ PG-R perforated face diffusers. In the main reception, Gilberts’ JSL jumbo slot diffusers in runs up to 12 m have been installed, blending seamlessly into architectural design of feature ceilings with their “shadowgap” aesthetics.
