Specialist engineer Western Thermal is continuing work on a £49 million hospital upgrade project in Slough, Berkshire.

The specialist engineer is applying its thermal insulation, trace heating and fire stopping solutions to the Wexham Park Hospital Emergency Department.

The project will create a new facility where patients will receive tests, assessments and treatment before being discharged within 72 hours. A total of 36 individual rooms are being built, along with a separate children's and minor injuries unit.

Working on behalf of client Integral UK and main contractor Kier Construction, Western Thermal is using its thermal insulation, trace heating and fire stopping capabilities on the building's pipework and ductwork, which includes fitting fire rated insulation sleeves.

Michael Slater, the company's Executive Operations Director, said: "We are proud to be a part of such an important NHS project for the country. Wexham Park Hospital also adds to our project count in the Slough Area, which include LDC data centres and Slough Power."
