BRIEF PROJECT SUMMARY:

The Austin PET Camera project is primarily a builders works package to facilitate the installation of a new Scanner for the Radiology Dept.

Fit out works include masonry lead lined walls along with radiation shielded glazing and doors.  Mechanical works include new supply and return hard duct to control the climate within the new spaces, mechanical medical gas works are also included within the works.  Electrical works include extensive UPS works and traditional power and communications.  Fire protection works include new sprinkler range pipes and heads along with a new fire detection system.
Internal finishes include plaster lined walls, suspended ceiling grid and tile system and vinyl floors throughout.


SERVICE DELIVERY:

Works were undertaken within an active radiology department.  All bulky materials were delivered out of hours and noisy works were conducted out of hours to avoid disruption to the department.
Co Ordination with the provider of the Cat Scan Machine took place to ensure all builders works were being provided to adequately suit the new installation.
A large UPS unit had to be kept operating though out the works which was located in a central point within the site, this created an obstruction which had to be dealt with as part of the works.
Works were completed on time and to the quality standards of both the client and architect.
