Design and Specification | Healthcare
Electrio was proud to be selected by Vanguard Medical a specialist modular building supplier ,to work as part of an international team developing a sophisticated modern day surgery unit at the Prince Philip Hospital in Llanelli, Wales.

Pulling out the stops to meet demanding deadlines
Electrio specified and designed a steel containment system with 6491B cables to meet the demands of what would be a very busy day surgery unit and the installation was designed to meet specific HTM* standards. Our dedicated team of experienced electricians worked 7 day weeks over a 10 week period, with extended hours each day, to ensure that the demanding deadlines of the project were met.
