Liquid Oxygen Tank Installation - Princess Anne Hospital
The project involved building a robust brick and steel enclosure to house two liquid oxygen storage tanks. Works included installing a structural steel framework, constructing brickwork walls, fitting roofing, metal access gates, and doors, alongside mechanical adaptations to existing medical gas systems and new lighting to enhance operational functionality.
All works were carefully coordinated to maintain hospital operations, prioritising patient safety. Comprehensive planning ensured compliance with infection control measures, access protocols, and health and safety regulations. The installation of tanks and associated equipment, including interconnecting pipelines, valves, and instrumentation, was fully integrated into the hospital infrastructure in accordance with health technical memoranda (HTM) and building regulations.
