John Coupland Hospital Gainsborough

EP Consulting recently completed a £200k maintenance project at John Coupland Hospital in Gainsborough. This essential upgrade ensures that the hospital’s facilities meet high standards of safety and efficiency. Our team carried out a comprehensive overhaul of the ageing mechanical systems, significantly enhancing the hospital's infrastructure and reliability.

Scope of Work

The project involved replacing outdated boilers and air handling units, which were identified as life-expired and critical for maintaining optimal environmental conditions within the hospital. EP Consulting provided full feasibility studies, budget costing, and mechanical and electrical design services. We ensured the new installations adhered to Part L2 Building Regulations. Collaboration with dab: Architectural Design ensured the seamless integration of new systems.

Challenges and Solutions

A primary challenge was replacing critical systems without disrupting hospital operations. EP Consulting developed a phased implementation plan to minimise downtime and ensure critical services remained operational throughout the project. The integration of modern, energy-efficient equipment required careful planning to fit within the existing infrastructure.

Results and Impact

The project significantly improved the hospital's HVAC efficiency, leading to reduced energy consumption and operational costs. The new systems enhance reliability, contributing to a more comfortable and safer environment for patients and staff. EP Consulting’s expertise in mechanical and electrical design has ensured that John Coupland Hospital continues to deliver high-quality healthcare services.
