The healthcare landscape in Hull is receiving a major boost with the construction of the new NHS Community Diagnostic Centre on Albion Street. Designed to accelerate patient access to essential scans and tests, this striking new building puts patient well-being and safety at the forefront. To guarantee an ultra-secure and fire-resistant pathway to the clinic's rooftop, the engineering team turned to Gorter's extensive range of roof hatches. For this critical medical facility, a heavy-duty, fire-rated RHTEI roof hatch was specified.
Crucial fire safety and thermal control
In any clinical or hospital setting, safeguarding vulnerable patients and medical staff from fire risks is the highest priority. The specified RHTEI roof access hatch delivers on this front by acting as a rigorously tested, certified fire barrier. Beyond its critical fire-stopping properties, the unit is constructed with a fully thermally broken curb and cover. This premium engineering prevents thermal bridging and condensation, which is essential for maintaining a highly controlled, sterile, and energy-efficient indoor climate.
Dependable access for facility management
Modern medical facilities depend heavily on complex rooftop HVAC and ventilation systems to keep the air clean and regulated. Facility management and maintenance crews require a dependable, hazard-free route to service these vital installations. The Gorter hatch provides a highly durable access point that stands up to extreme conditions. Backed by comprehensive testing and a CE marking, it ensures that maintenance personnel operating on the Hull clinic's roof are protected by the highest safety standards in the industry.
