Electrical innovation on Satellite Hospitals and NRH

Patrick Lynch Electrical are currently working on three hospital projects in Dublin and are utilising new products to great effect.

Eoin Brown is the Contracts Manager and he and his team have given us the details below to share with you. Hopefully, you pick up something here that will help to make your own work easier in the future.

1. Supports

Using concrete screws in conjunction with the “C” type clips shown above, in place of standard wedge anchors for hanging trapeze brackets has really streamlined this process on site.

The guys in the field can now concentrate on fixing all the “C” clips in position while an off-site team pre-fabricates all the trapeze brackets and delivers these when requested on pallets to the required areas (“Just in time delivery”). It is then a very simple and quick install to lift each trapeze into position and tighten the lock nuts.

Benefits:-

No congestion with “Just in time delivery”
No double handling
On-site crew focussed on setting out and installing “C” clips
Trapeze supports not in the way of other trades during setting out phase
Off-site pre-fab reduces labour on site

2. Modular Wiring

The concept behind a Core Modular Wiring installation is simple – from a pre-approved design between Core, Wieland and the Electrical Contractor, Wieland produces and tests a system in a quality controlled environment, providing a complete installation that is simply ‘plug & play’ from the respective distribution board to the furthest point of a circuit.
