Supporting the Healthcare Sector

Sensitive environments such as a hospital have to be extra careful that hazards do not migrate and works do not disturb surrounding environments. If left unchecked, these hazards could cause significant delays.

Understanding Your Challenges

At RVT Group we understand the importance of ensuring a project within a sensitive environment is carried out correctly and safely, with no room for error. We have supported leading UK contractors with projects within hospitals, ensuring our control measures meet zero migration, and any other requirement set out from the client.

We provide tailored solutions in line with HBN 00-09 and can provide:

Dust extraction and filtration units capable of creating negative pressure environments to stop dust migration.
Dust and noise enclosures, including our air-lock, to ensure the work area is fully sealed off from live environments.
Acoustic barriers and enclosures to reduce the risk of those nearby being exposed to excessive noise.
Install noise and dust monitors on site that are linked to a cloud-platform and provide real-time data, updates and alerts.

How Can RVT Group Help You?

HEPA Filtration

Construction and renovation work generates an abundance of dust that needs to be captured, contained and controlled. RVT Group can supply the brand-new DustMaster Pro HEPA filtration unit which is designed to capture dust at source whilst putting the room under negative pressure.

Zero Dust Migration

During maintenance work, IPC teams cannot risk patients being exposed to contaminants. We therefore provide a negative pressure extraction system to control the direction of airflow and ensure that there is zero dust migration outside of the work zone.

Protected from Silica & Aspergillus

RVT can provide rigid containment structures or mobile maintenance carts to contain the work area and ensure that patients are protected from the risk of Aspergillus and other airborne contaminants. RVT also offer dust monitors for added peace of mind.

Protecting Patients from Noise

It is also important to ensure that vulnerable patients are not disturbed by excessive noise, which is why RVT offer specialist noise control and monitoring solutions, reducing noise by up to 39.2dBA.

Our Experience With Hospital Projects

Dust and noise control solutions kept Hospital staff and patients safe during refurbishment and extension building works.

The hospital was due to undergo extension and refurbishment works at multiple areas and wards within the building, whilst the rest of the hospital remained live, including operating theatres.

Hazardous Dust Effectively Controlled During a Refurbishment Project at Royal Alexandra Children's Hospital

The audiology department at the hospital needed to undergo essential refurbishment works, and in order for works to be carried out safely in such a sensitive environment, a compliant hazard control solution needed to be installed to protect everyone within the vicinity.

What our clients say

Skanska

Senior Project Manager

“Skanska elected to employ the RVT Acoustic Curtains to line the existing walls, which have allowed us to proceed without disturbing the hospital. To remove the hazard of dust escaping past our primary barriers, a Dustex® 300M & Wandafilta Plus Kit was used to provide overall Negative Pressure within the Construction Zone, together with a Climex® ACS 22000 Portable Water Cooler Split Air conditioner to provide comfort cooling for the operatives.”

Interserve Construction

Site Manager

“The dust control solution RVT provided at Queen’s Medical Centre worked very well – it did exactly the job we needed. We were very happy with the level of service, too.”
