We assisted with the design and then full installation of 100m2 extension at Lochmaben Doctors Surgery.
The works included all new clinical services including heating, sterilised water systems to all new clinical wash hand and other basins, new ventilation and medical gases. As the project was located in a conservation area, planning conditions required the appointment of an archaeologist and report to determine if the excavation uncovered any significant archaeological finds.
The construction of the project consisted of ground bearing concrete floor slab on foundation blockwork on strip foundations, including all associated underground drainage, connected to the existing foul and storm systems. The superstructure construction is a single storey 200mm load bearing timber frame and roof trusses, c/w sarking and finished in traditional Scottish slate. Windows and doors are aluminium, for additional security and longevity of the installation.
The internal fit out included vinyl coved flooring for all areas, Clinical FFE, IPS installations, fully acoustic lined ceilings – for clinical privacy between rooms, new BMS controlled combination boiler for the heating and hot water needs, clinical lighting, angle poise bed lights, small power, data and IT connections to the local NHS network, and all other group 4 NHS fittings.
Segregation from the live surgery was possible by completing most of the construction extension works externally, making a final break through at attic level to connect all services. The pedestrian link to the new extension is via an existing rear door, in a non-clinical area. The transformation to alter this into an internal corridor link was completed out of hours to ensure patient / staff safety.
