A modular electrical distribution system from Modular Wiring Systems at Edinburgh’s new Spire Shawfair Park Hospital has speeded completion and won a new convert in the form of senior contracts manager at NG Bailey Stuart McMenigall.
The two-storey, private day surgery hospital will accommodate consulting rooms, inpatient rooms, day-care “pods”, an operating theatre department, and associated support services. The LV distribution system features a 32 amp circuit with high integrity earthing; both ring and radial circuits have been utilised. Stuart McMenigall said: “I’m now totally converted to modular wiring systems. The benefits included programme, sequence, and the speed of install. Using a modular system helped overcome the fact that the circuit charts, services drawings, and the architect’s layouts, didn’t tie in. As we didn’t need home runs etc, we just dropped the system in.”
