PROJECT PROFILE
ULSTER HOSPITAL DOCTOR ON CALL UNIT, DUNDONALD
BUILDING SERVICES CONSULTING ENGINEER Beattie Flanigan is the incumbent building services consulting engineer under the Ulster Hospital Minor framework, and the first and only firm in Ireland to have a registered Healthcare Authorising Engineer (Electrical). This was a particularly challenging project for the firm, given the location of works within the basement of a live operational Acute Services Block. Close consultation with the Trust’s operational engineers was paramount, while tie-ins to existing systems and any planned shutdowns had to be well coordinated and planned. The location of the facility meant that two of the most key and critical factors were ventilation and lighting, in order to create the proper environmental conditions for users. Tuneable lighting was utilised to ensure the circadian rhythm of those working within the facility was maintained and not upset, due to the restricted availability of natural daylight. Creating a pleasant, fresh, modern working and resting environment for front-line medical staff was a rewarding experience for the team.
