Our Approach
In addressing the renovation need the live cardiology laboratory at the Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital, Nevada Construction adopted a comprehensive containment strategy.
The initial phase involved precise ‘first-fix containment’ operations, ensuring the systematic management of utilities to minimise disruptions to ongoing medical activities. A paramount challenge encountered was the integration of the lab’s stringent sterile environment requirements with the ongoing construction processes, particularly in ventilation management.
An innovative safety protocol was established through the implementation of a light-based alert system, designed to mitigate radiation exposure risks during live procedures, thereby ensuring the safety of hospital staff, patients, and construction .
Community impact
This renovation project exemplifies Nevada Construction’s proficiency in navigating the intricate requirements of healthcare facility upgrades, specifically within operational cardiology labs.
The improvements made to the lab’s infrastructure significantly enhance patient care quality and operational efficiency, reflecting our commitment to bolstering healthcare outcomes.
Through strategic planning and execution, we demonstrate our dedication to supporting the community’s health and well-being, reinforcing the essential role of advanced healthcare facilities to provide first-class medical services to our community.
