NHS Frameworks | SOLID Structures & Infrastructure

SOLID has also been busy in the private health sector as it too looks to increase its capacity and offering. SOLID has recently been successful in joining the Estates & Facilities Consultancy Services Dynamic Purchasing System with the NHS London Procurement Partnership for Civil and Structural fees up to u00a3350k. This gives us a wider exposure to all NHS and Public Sector contracting authorities.

  1. NHS FRAMEWORKS SOLIDStructures & Infrastructure

  2. Health Sector Project The last 12 months have seen a significant increase in the health sector project work SOLID delivered. It has given us a unique insight into the challenges the NHS face in keeping up to date with the latest in technological advancement, increasing capacity to fight the pandemic and their programme of infrastructure upgrades.

  3. Standard Hospital Floor Loads It is not only the permanent loads we have to consider. When the new MRI and CT scanners are delivered the magnet will come as one unit which often exceeds the standard hospital floor loads. Part of our work is to assess the structure along the whole length of this dedicated transport route, review crane base locations and check any load impact on the existing drainage systems. Where rooms have originally been designed to accommodate large magnets there are often removable wall panels to allow for the future upgrade.

  4. Lasers and X-Rays Another important factor to consider is the deflection allowance on new equipment like lasers and X-rays hung from the structure overhead. They often require an independent structure to be installed under the floor slab above to improve deflection limits.

  5. Lighter Weight Building However, with a lighter weight building comes the increased chance of dynamic deflections causing uncomfortable vibrations across the floor plate. SOLID has been advising the Trust client-side to ensure a suitable balance is reached.

  6. BOC Oxygen Tank Bases Other NHS work included the feasibility and design of large BOC oxygen tank bases. These tanks have increased the resilience of the hospital's piped gas network. As part of this project, we have also assisted in routing new pipework through the congested services routes of the hospital and designed new builders work supports.
