Hospital 

A 320-bed acute care hospital expansion required full MEP design and BIM coordination to HTM standards. Our scope covered mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and medical gas design from schematic through to construction documentation, coordinated against the architectural and structural models and validated against infection control and ventilation requirements.

/Why They Needed Help

Where 

01

HTM Compliance Required Specialist Knowledge

Hospital MEP design requires adherence to healthcare technical memoranda that generic MEP consultants aren't set up to deliver.

02

Medical Gas Added a Fifth Discipline

Medical gas design had to coordinate with mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire safety across a complex clinical layout.

03

Infection Control Was Non-Negotiable

Ventilation design had to enforce clinical zone boundaries precisely, with no tolerance for coordination errors.

04

Live Hospital on One Side of the Boundary

Construction had to connect into a live hospital infrastructure without disrupting clinical services.

/Key Project Challenges

What 

CH.01

Five Specialist Disciplines

Mechanical, electrical, medical gas, plumbing, and fire safety all had to coordinate in a clinically constrained layout.

CH.02

HTM Standard Compliance

Every MEP system had to meet specific healthcare technical memoranda requirements, not generic building standards.

CH.03

Infection Control Ventilation

Pressure differentials and air change rates had to be designed and modelled precisely for every clinical zone.

CH.04

Live Hospital Interface

All tie-ins to the existing hospital plant had to be designed to allow construction without clinical service interruption.

/Execution Strategy

How 

Design to HTM from Day One

Healthcare technical memoranda requirements were built into the MEP specifications at schematic stage.

01
02

Coordinate Medical Gas First

Medical gas routing was established before other MEP disciplines to ensure clinical priority spaces were correctly served.

Model Infection Control Zones

All ventilation zones were explicitly modelled and validated in the BIM model before construction documentation was issued.

03
04

Sequence the Live Interfaces

All live hospital tie-in sequences were designed and documented to protect clinical services throughout construction.

/Solution Delivered
