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.
High-Quality Cabling
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 the 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.”
Supporting The Project
We are pleased to be awarded an important project like this and also proud to work alongside AEI Cables"
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 of 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.”
Building Function And Flexibility
A new block to the hospital will provide specialist out-patient services, including psychiatric and day hospital, electro-diagnostic, multi-specialty 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.
Firetec Solution And Applications
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.
