Project complete at Scotland’s largest NHS hospital
Marco, a UK manufacturer of steel wire cable tray, has made its final delivery to contractors on site at Glasgow General, the largest single NHS hospital ever built in Scotland.
Mercury Engineering managed the entire construction programme at the hospital. Due to the complex nature of this project, Marco supplied its trunking system to suit Mercury Engineering’s exact requirements, and the Hygieia specification was utilised across the vast hospital site.
The Hygieia specification is a perfect fit in environments where the spread of bacterial growth must be controlled, which was a key factor to Mercury when considering the hygiene requirements of a modern day hospital.
Marco utilises silver ion technology within its Hygieia specification to create a defence against 99.9% of harmful bacteria growth. This provides built-in protection from, and prevents the growth of, bacteria including MRSA, E-Coli, Salmonella, Klebsiella Pneumoniae and Streptococci; along with fungi, mildew and mould.
