Neonatal Critical Care Unit (NCCU) – Addenbrooke’s Hospital
K&H Medical successfully completed the medical gas installation as part of the refurbishment of the Neonatal Critical Care Unit at Addenbrooke’s Hospital.
The project involved connecting to the existing Oxygen, Medical Air, and Vacuum systems and delivering a new distribution network to supply five Area Valve Service Units (AVSUs), including a dedicated departmental unit. The works were designed and executed to align with the high standards required in a neonatal critical care environment.
The medical gas services were routed at high level to feed pendants serving 18 bed spaces. Each room was configured with a split system arrangement incorporating two pendants, providing enhanced functionality and flexibility for clinical teams.
Towards the final stages of the project, our engineers completed the installation and connection of four 6-gas AVSUs and one 3-gas departmental AVSU, together with four 6-gas repeater alarm panels.
Our in-house electrical team ensured that all alarm and monitoring systems were fully integrated and ready for operation alongside the mechanical installation.
With both mechanical and electrical works complete, full testing and commissioning of the system were carried out. This critical phase verified performance, compliance, and safety across all elements of the installation.
