DISCOVER HOW R&F MECHANICAL SERVICES SUCCESSFULLY TRANSFORMED ULSTER HOSPITAL LAUNDRY WITH ITS IMPECCABLE MECHANICAL INSTALLATION EXPERTISE… STEAMING AHEAD
R &F Mechanical successfully completed the full mechanical building services installation for the Ulster Hospital Laundry project as contracted by Ganson. The scope of works included an extensive steam plant and distribution network, plumbing, heating services, soils & waste, process water, compressed air, ventilation and AC systems all controlled by a comprehensive Building Management System. The project involved the installation of LTHW boilers and three large steam boilers, including all associated hot well feed tanks, chemical dosing, soft water tanks and blowdown systems.
The project encompassed an extensive renovation and expansion of the laundry facilities at one of Belfast’s major hospitals, alongside the construction of a new staff facility complex. The laundry area now spans 1,750sqm, across the ground floor, first floor and mezzanine. The ground floor accommodates the “dirty side,” where soiled gowns and sheets are received for washing, as well as the “clean side” dedicated to drying, ironing, folding and packaging of laundered linen. A designated “clean room” houses items requiring complete sterilisation, while gowning lobbies facilitate the process of donning and doffing.
The mezzanine, situated in the existing building, serves as a separate plant room, housing essential components such as the main water tank and air handling units. The first floor, part of the newly constructed area, comprises a staff rest room, showers, toilets, offices, training room and linen repair facilities. The laundry equipment’s performance capabilities are remarkable in scale. The tunnel washing machine exhibits an impressive capacity of 1,300kg per hour, while certain barrier washers efficiently handle over 300kg of clothing within the same timeframe. Additionally, the iron machine presses and folds 900 bed
