System Hygienics has recently completed remedial work to ductwork at the Princess Royal University Hospital in Bromley, Kent, following a fire damper testing programme – modifying fire and smoke dampers and nearby ductwork and access arrangements to ensure compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and HTM 03-01
The company has worked at the Hospital for over 12 years, recently cleaning extract ductwork at its Green Parks House psychiatric unit. It also maintains extract ductwork in the main kitchen, and undertakes annual air hygiene surveys.
System Hygienics has also cleaned ventilation ductwork that carries fresh air to the hospital’s eight operating theatres using its Jetvent Powervac system, a remote cleaning method that employs compressed air and a powerful filtered vacuum, ‘to access and clean areas normally out of reach’. Using Jetvent, engineers can reach up to 50 m of ductwork from a single point, using existing maintenance and inspection openings.
