The project to install new poured resin flooring was completed within the operational Peterborough City Hospital mortuary. Previous attempts by three companies on 3 separate occasions were unsuccessful. All three of these attempts by other companies were within the first 3 years since the site had become operational.
The various stakeholders involved were extremely pessimistic due to the previous unsuccessful installations. We were required to complete a vast amount of pre-construction consultation and investigative work. Each element of this project was expertly planned and executed to guarantee a successful installation with minimal disruption. We successfully installed a brand-new poured resin flooring that the hospital was happy with.
The project required precise execution and strategic planning. This was due to the challenging environment concerning the management of daily operations and the completion of the project within an agreed timeframe. The existing contaminated floor, substrate and drainage system had to be removed. A new drainage system had to be purposely built due to specific requirements and the substrate. The floor had to be suitable to accommodate the needs of the environment. It was vital it could withstand the contamination generated. The Degafloor QTA System was specified as the final floor finish. It provides a slip-resistant and durable poured resin flooring finish.
Due to previous failures and the subsequent disruption, a credible schedule had to be proposed. Failure to complete could result in massive damages and irreversible bad press. This could affect RESYN and the hospital. Overcompensating on time would have caused further disruption to the hospital and derision as follow-on trades were required to undertake a deep clean and reinstate the equipment, all of which required timely precision.
To avoid complications core samples and trials were undertaken before commencement. The core samples confirmed the screed was contaminated with bacteria. The risks associated with the removal and licensed disposal of the contaminated waste had to be expertly managed. As the installation was in a working hospital environment, ventilation had to be carefully calculated. The hospital required access to the body store fridges at all times throughout the installation. This meant the execution of the installation had to be strategically planned and managed. This included the supply of adequate floor protection by the body stores, to the positioning of the skips.
On completion of the project, every stakeholder displayed an enormous amount of gratitude towards the team and the efficiency with which the installation was planned and implemented. This once relatively simple project had turned into a complex installation due to several significant failures.
