Followers of Channel 4’s ‘Supervet’ will know all about Noel Fitzpatrick, star of the show, and also known as ‘The Bionic Vet’.  The show follows his work as he and his team help ‘hard to cure’ pets from around the UK.

His dream was to build the first hospital of its kind in Europe and to change the way cancer is treated in companion animals by offering ‘all of the options to all of the animals, all of the time’. The dream came true and the new hospital, near Guildford, was officially opened by Chris Evans in September 2015.

The hospital is home to world class medical and surgical oncologists, the best nursing teams and the latest cutting-edge equipment. It is also the only centre in Europe providing custom designed 3D printed limb and joint salvage prosthesis.

We were responsible for delivering the complete £1.2m mechanical and electrical installation for this project.

The client’s requirements presented several technical challenges – most notably the installation of intelligent, energy saving lighting systems controlled by occupancy sensors and the specialist requirements for the CT scanner room.

The scanner itself, valued at £750K required the room to meet Medical Electrical Installation Guidance (MEIGaN) standards.  This included the installation of a dedicated self-contained earthing system, designed specifically for the safety and performance needs of sensitive medical equipment.
