Partnership leads to innovative healthcare solution
Introducing CliniCabin , an innovative podstyle clinical unit created with the support of steel installation specialist TekBuild to provide an affordable healthcare solution . Paul Hutchinson ’ s TekBuild has wrapped the pods in a specifically designed lightweight steel frame .
CliniCabin , an idea born on Teesside itself , has been striving to rehabilitate healthcare and diagnostics in the wake of the pandemic ever since the first national lockdown in 2020 .
Peter Adams , director of CliniCabin , said : “ At the height of the pandemic , the NHS faced a tidal wave of backlogs , exacerbated by the cessation of respiratory tests such as spirometry , which are essential in diagnosing conditions such as asthma and COPD .
“ The team behind CliniCabin were passionate about coming up with a solution that not only remedied the issues faced by the NHS , but was able to increase the efficiency of diagnostics beyond Covid-19 . So working closely with the team at Tekbuild , CliniCabin was born .”
CliniCabin implements a high-speed mechanical ventilation system alongside additional clinical technology to create a safe environment for patients and clinicians alike .
Built off-site at its Teesside-based warehouse , CliniCabin is delivered to medical sites fully constructed and ready to use .

Paul Hutchinson ’ s blossoming TekBuild has felt the benefits of flights from Teesside Airport after taking on one of its biggest jobs to date .

The £ 233.2m development at the Foresterhill Health Campus will support and enhance the provision of clinical care in the area .

Tekbuild ’ s growing reputation is securing work further afield and during uncertain times . With Covid-19 still widespread , Tekbuild ’ s work wasn ’ t affected due to the regular flight schedules from Teesside Airport , ensuring staff were safe at all times while travelling .

“ It ’ s fantastic for the area and hopefully those flights will continue to reach out to other areas of the country and beyond to further assist us and surrounding companies .”
