Clean-room & Theatre Networks
Cabling and equipment for controlled environments — sealed penetrations, cleanable fittings, and installation windows that fit clinical use.
Installing into a theatre or a clean room is a construction problem with clinical constraints attached. Every penetration through a sealed envelope has to be made good to maintain the pressure regime, fittings have to be flush and cleanable, and materials have to tolerate the cleaning agents used. A standard outlet plate is often not acceptable.
The programme is the other half of the difficulty. These rooms are in use, and the windows to work in them are short, planned well in advance and immovable. Work has to be sequenced so that whatever is opened can be closed, tested and cleaned inside the window — which means prefabrication and pre-terminated assemblies rather than field termination.
Because access is so constrained, spare capacity is worth more here than anywhere else in the building. Pulling additional cores during a planned window costs a fraction of arranging another window later.
What this covers
Sealed penetrations
Cable entries made good to maintain the pressure regime and the integrity of the envelope.
Cleanable fittings
Flush, sealed outlets and enclosures specified to tolerate the cleaning regime in use.
Prefabricated assemblies
Pre-terminated trunks and tested assemblies, so an installation window is spent installing rather than terminating.
Generous spare capacity
Additional cores and outlets installed during the window, because a second window is the expensive part.
Coordinated programme
Sequencing agreed with clinical and estates teams so a room is handed back clean, tested and on time.
What we will ask you
These are the questions that decide the specification. Having the answers ready is what turns a first conversation into a real quotation.
- 01
When is the room actually available?
Windows are short and fixed. The method has to fit the window rather than the window being extended.
- 02
What cleaning agents are used?
They determine acceptable materials and finishes for every fitting in the room.
- 03
How much spare should go in now?
More than feels necessary. The cost of another window dwarfs the cost of extra cores.
