What We Did

A team of more than 30 mechanical design and installation specialists from Dixon Integrated Services, part of the long-established Dixon Group in Hull, spent more than a year working on the project.

Time-saving modern methods of construction were used, with modules manufactured in Hull as ground works progressed on-site.

A team of more than 30 mechanical design and installation specialists from Dixon Integrated Services, part of the long-established Dixon Group, spent more than a year working on the project.

Mechanical designers firstly started working with architects and the main contractors to plan the project in April 2022, before a team of more than 30 carried out the huge installation works between January and May of this year.

The DIS team has completed all plumbing, heating, cooling, ventilation installations, as well as installing medical gases supplies to rooms to provide oxygen for patients, and a full Building Management System (BMS), ensuring complete and efficient climate control across the entire building.

The install included specialist, highly energy efficient CIAT chillers and heat pumps. Dalair Air Handling Units provide 100% fresh tempered air is delivered to the ward, with 15 changes an hour, to create a constant cooling or heating supply.

It was project with many challenges to overcome, especially given the tight deadlines – and at times challenging weather – whilst high Health Technical Memorandum (HTM) and Health Building Notes (HBN) guidelines and specifications needed to be met on the design, maintenance and operation of ventilation systems.
