The works focused on transforming an existing angiography room into a purpose-built interventional suite, supporting the installation of a modern imaging system. This required significant demolition of existing ceilings, walls, joinery, and service areas to enable a complete reconfiguration of the internal layout. The new design prioritised efficient clinical workflows, incorporating dedicated zones for control, scrub, storage, and utility functions.
A key aspect of the project was the integration of radiation shielding throughout the facility. New walls, doors, and viewing elements were constructed with lead lining to meet stringent safety requirements, ensuring protection for both staff and patients. Existing shielding components were carefully relocated and integrated into the new design where possible.
The project also involved the installation of a specialised overhead support structure to accommodate ceiling-mounted imaging equipment. This structural system was engineered to manage the operational loads of the imaging platform, requiring precise coordination between building works and equipment specifications.
Internal finishes were upgraded throughout, including new ceilings, wall linings, and floor finishes, creating a clean, durable, and compliant clinical environment. Access panels and service provisions were integrated into the design to support ongoing maintenance and equipment servicing.
Extensive services upgrades formed a critical component of the works. Mechanical systems were reconfigured to suit the revised layout, including relocation of air handling units and filtration systems to meet clinical standards. Hydraulic works included new scrub facilities, sinks, and waste systems, while electrical upgrades supported the power and performance requirements of advanced medical equipment and lighting.
Fire protection systems were modified to align with the new ceiling layout and equipment arrangement, ensuring continued compliance with safety regulations. The project required close coordination across all disciplines to ensure seamless integration between building infrastructure and specialised medical systems.
Delivered within an operational hospital setting, the project required careful planning and staging to maintain hospital functionality while construction was underway. The result was a modern, compliant, and highly functional interventional suite designed to support advanced procedures and improve the overall clinical environment.
