Provision of Electrical Services
Location: The Royal Marsden, Chelsea, London
Scope of project
Alpine Works was instructed to provide the electrical services, including the supply and installation of new distribution boards to all floor levels. This installation was designed to serve the refurbished rooms and all associated equipment including a rising busbar. The supply and installation of main and emergency lighting, controls and self-test systems. The supply and installation of small power, fire alarm systems and structured cabling installations. The scope of the work included patient entertainment distribution and a disabled WC call and a disabled person’s refuge call & intercom system. Installation of security door access and entry systems. The installation of a security intruder alarm and a security panic attack system with a connection into the existing site-wide hospital system.
Challenges
The main challenge of this project was to connect and commission new systems into existing. We worked with the incumbent parties that operated proprietary systems within the main framework of the hospital. Pre-construction was critical as it gave us an opportunity to work with all parties to achieve a successful outcome when commissioning the systems prior to handover.
