The Benefits of Professional Containment Systems

In a medical setting, a professionally installed cable containment system is a non-negotiable element of facility design. It offers essential benefits that are critical for patient care, staff safety, and regulatory compliance.

Enhancing Patient and Staff Safety

Trailing cables present a significant trip hazard for patients with mobility issues, busy clinical staff, and visitors. More critically, unprotected wiring is vulnerable to damage, which could lead to power failure for essential medical devices or create a serious fire risk. Professional containment securely houses all cables, eliminating physical hazards and protecting the integrity of your electrical supply, thereby safeguarding patient lives.

Supporting Infection Control Protocols

Infection prevention and control is a primary concern in healthcare. Standard containment systems can have surfaces and crevices that are difficult to clean and can harbour pathogens. We provide specialist containment solutions with smooth, easy-to-clean surfaces and ingress protection (IP) ratings suitable for clinical areas. This helps to reduce the risk of healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs) and supports your facility's cleaning regimes.

Ensuring Compliance with Healthcare Standards

Healthcare facilities are subject to rigorous inspection and must comply with Health Technical Memoranda (HTM) and other NHS standards, in addition to the BS 7671 wiring regulations. These standards have specific requirements for electrical installations in patient areas. Our installations are designed to meet or exceed these stringent requirements, ensuring your facility is fully compliant and inspection-ready.

Future-Proofing for Medical Technology

Medical technology is advancing rapidly. A well-designed, structured containment system with spare capacity makes it significantly easier and more cost-effective to install new medical equipment, upgrade IT networks, or reconfigure clinical spaces. This planned approach minimises disruption to patient care during future upgrades and ensures your facility can adapt to new technologies.

What Our Containment System Installation Services Include

01

Medical and Dado Trunking Systems

For clinical areas, wards, and treatment rooms, we install specialised medical trunking systems. These are often made from materials with antimicrobial properties and are designed to be easily cleaned. They provide segregated compartments to safely separate power, data, and nurse call systems, meeting the requirements for installations in patient environments.

02

Bedhead Trunking Installations

We install prefabricated bedhead trunking units that integrate essential patient services in one accessible point. These units can contain medical gas outlets, nurse call buttons, lighting controls, power sockets, and data points. This provides a neat, compliant, and functional solution for patient bedsides in hospitals and care homes.

03

Robust Containment for Plant Rooms

Behind the scenes, hospitals rely on extensive mechanical and electrical plant. We install heavy-duty, high-level cable tray and ladder rack systems to manage the significant power cabling for generators, UPS systems, and HVAC equipment. This ensures your core infrastructure is organised, secure, and accessible for essential maintenance.

04

Phased Installation and Live Environment Working

We are highly experienced in working within live hospital and healthcare environments. Our teams work closely with estates and facilities managers to develop phased installation plans that minimise disruption. We employ strict dust control measures and work to agreed schedules, often out-of-hours, to ensure patient care is never compromised.
