Royal Gwent Hospital
Fully designed, detailed and coordinated using 3D Revit BIM of services installation to RIBA 4C / BG6 coordinated specific technical design
SDS was engaged to support the design and construction of a new Hospital Sterilisation and Decontamination Unit (HSDU) located adjacent to the proposed Specialist and Critical Care Centre (SCCC) at Llanfrechfa Grange, Cwmbran. This development forms a key component of ABUHB’s Clinical Futures Programme
The primary objective of the project was to deliver a purpose-built, state-of-the-art facility dedicated to the cleaning, sterilisation, and decontamination of medical equipment, particularly endoscopes. The design emphasizes resilience and efficiency, ensuring a mechanically and electrically robust site to meet the high standards of medical equipment sterilisation and infection control protocols
