Project Brief

Site Introduction

Hollmark were commissioned to upgrade the fire alarm system at Purfleet Medical Centre, a live NHS site.

All exit doors should have a manual call point.

ON Site CHALLENGES

Working in a live environment, care had to be taken to ensure the day-to-day operations of the medical centre were not disrupted.

We held pre-start meetings with the client team and together we agreed a planned programme of works; from which we were able to work around their timetable, so that we caused the minimalist amount of disruption as possible.

With staff and members of the public within the building we had to ensure all working sites were secure and safe, no tools or equipment left unattended, and these areas were left clean and tidy as soon as installation had finished.
