single bed hospitAl in the
country
Polypipe Terrain, the UK’s leading plastic piping systems
manufacturer, has been specified throughout a new £335
million pound hospital development in Liverpool.
PVC Vent and Waste Pipes, Terrain FUZE HDPE and
Terrain Dilution Traps have been installed in the most
sensitive areas of The Royal Liverpool University Hospital,
including, above theatres, scanners and in the Accident &
Emergency Department.
The Royal Liverpool University Hospital is the largest
single bed hospital in the country, with 646 beds,
including a 40 bed critical care unit, 18 operating theatres
and one of the largest emergency departments in the
North West. With an abundance of expensive equipment
and machinery, it was of paramount importance to main
contractor, Carillion, that the drainage throughout the
hospital could be trusted.
Initially, an order of Polypipe Terrain PVC was placed
to provide secondary stack ventilation throughout the
hospital. After this successful installation, Polypipe Terrain
FUZE HDPE was selected as a modern alternative to the
cast iron system already specified, providing expert
drainage throughout.
