Overview
The project involved the relocation of two floors of a children's ward dedicated to cancer treatment within an existing building. The internal reconfiguration included the incorporation of existing drainage pipework and necessitated a thorough Matterport survey utilizing 3D cloud point technology. Specialized pipework for medical gases was integrated, connecting seamlessly into the existing risers within the hospital infrastructure.
The project required a comprehensive review of consultant information, identification of updates, and addressing any gaps in the inherited model. Regular attendance at coordination meetings with consultants, architects, and Tilbury ensured effective communication and collaboration. Additionally, on-site visits were conducted to review existing services and coordinate where information was not readily available. Overall, the project aimed to optimize the MEP systems for enhanced functionality and efficiency within the children's cancer treatment ward.



Challenges and Successes
The project presented challenges that required resizing the ductwork and addressing specific issues within the ceiling void. Collaboration with the MEP client, Tilbury, was crucial in finding effective solutions for the challenges posed by the ceiling void constraints. Additionally, existing drainage from floors above encroached on the ceiling void space, creating pinch points requiring careful navigation. The project team worked diligently to overcome these obstacles, ensuring the optimal functioning of the MEP systems while navigating and resolving challenges related to the ceiling void.


Utilizing project management through Navisworks in collaboration with Tilbury was instrumental in identifying and resolving clashes before the site installation and discovery phases, leading to efficient solutions prior to ductwork manufacture. This proactive approach allowed for a streamlined process, ensuring that potential issues were addressed in advance. The team successfully resolved all challenges related to ceiling void pinchpoints, achieving a comprehensive integration of all components into the project. The successful navigation and resolution of these issues contributed to the overall success of the MEP project.
