AEI Cables clinches prestige Hong Kong hospital project
Industry leader AEI Cables has been awarded a major contract for the
expansion of a major hospital in Hong Kong to supply fire performance and low
voltage cables.
Working in partnership with
its long-term Hong Kong distributor Fordex Electric Company Limited, AEI Cables
will supply its range of products for power, control and fire performance on
the new extension of the United Christian Hospital project.
Stuart Dover of AEI Cables, said: “There is a need
for the highest levels of quality cabling in a building such as this where medical
care relies on continuity of power supply and with such large numbers of people
moving about, many of them vulnerable. We are proud
to be chosen to supply the cables for such an iconic project.”
Kevin Siu, Business Development Director of Fordex Electric Co, Ltd,
said: “We are pleased to be awarded an important project like this and also
proud to work alongside our partner AEI Cables. We are happy to have
earned the trust and confidence from our client knowing Fordex Electric is here
to fully support them throughout the project. I believe the UCH project
will create opportunities for us to supply to similar projects of this scale in
the Hong Kong market.”
A new block to the hospital will provide specialist
out-patient services, including psychiatric and day hospital,
electro-diagnostic, multi-speciality day services, renal dialysis, diabetes, oncology
and pathology.
The design of the new block adopted a twin-tower approach to
help with the function and flexibility of the building and to maintain major
view corridors and breezeways at the upper levels, whilst enhancing the visual
aesthetic of the design. A further wing will also provide endoscopy, peri-operative
and in-patient services.
Using the very latest in technology and science, AEI
Cables’ Firetec Total Fire Solutions range offers enhanced fire performance
cabling, accessories and technical support from its distribution facility at
Washington, Tyne and Wear.
Applications for Firetec
include residential and commercial buildings, shopping malls, airports and protected
buildings ensuring that fire alarms, sprinkler systems,
building monitoring and security systems can continue to operate in a fire.
All AEI Cables’ products are supplied with approvals from independent bodies including BASEC and
LPCB. It also holds approvals from organisations including Lloyds, the MoD,
Network Rail and LUL and works to international standards around the world.
