The Alexandra theatres was a fast tracked electrical & mechanical project delivering crucial services on time for the people Redditch, whilst respectfully working in conjunction with various other trades and adhering to the project programme.
This project provided new Endoscopy facilities serving two new operating theatres. A temporary corridor was created to enable the modular theatres to be used whist the traditional building was been completed.
By selecting locally manufactured Thorlux luminaires on this project we were able to deliver on sustainability. Thorlux is proud to manufacture 97% of its luminaires at its facility in Redditch, Worcestershire which is no more than 1 Km from the Alexander Hospital. This allows complete control over the manufacturing process ensuring that negative environmental impacts are minimised whilst conserving energy and natural resources.
On the mechanical side of the project installing a new AHU, cooled by DX allowed us to increase the energy efficiency within this area.
