Noise, Dust and Vibration Risks Successfully Controlled During Construction Works at a Children’s Hospital

Case Study Overview

Work was due to take place at a leading UK specialist paediatric centre that offers expert care for children and young people from across the country. A bespoke multi-phase new build infill scheme was planned to increase the hospital’s capacity, and once complete, the new build would be connected to the existing hospital building. The hospital planned to operate as normal while work took place, which meant that staff, patients and visitors needed to be kept safe from health hazards at all times

Challenge

GRAHAM was the awarded contractor tasked with delivering this project. The team were mindful that dust, noise, and vibration would need to be carefully monitored in this sensitive hospital environment. GRAHAM needed to demonstrate that extensive control measures were in place to ensure compliance with HSE guidance and Infection Prevention Control at the hospital. GRAHAM called upon RVT after successfully working together on previous healthcare projects, such as at Nottingham Queen Medical Centre.

Solution

RVT supplied and installed a range of solutions including dust suppression, acoustic curtains, and noise, dust, and vibration monitors. Download the full case study to find out more.
