Project Background


Focus MEP has successfully completed the Mechanical, Electrical, and Public Health (MEP) contract for the Ty Calon

Lan Medical Centre in Mountain Ash. This purpose-built facility, now housing the Meddygfa Glan Cynon Surgery, combines

Cynon Vale Medical Centre and Rhos House Surgery. The centre features 22 clinical rooms, alongside administration and

support spaces, spread over two floors.


Objectives

ENVIRONMENT ENHANCEMENT

Achieving a BREEAM 'Excellent' rating for the building and incorporate sustainable building systems to enhance energy efficiency.

MODERNISATION

Deliver comprehensive MEP services for a modern medical facility in collaboration.


Initiative and Implementation:

Focus MEP's approach to this project included:


  • Integrated MEP Design: Developing a cohesive design for mechanical, electrical, and public health services.
  • Collaborative Working: Partnering with Jehu, Apollo, and McCann and Partners to ensure a unified approach to the project.
  • Sustainability Focus: Emphasising sustainable solutions in line with BREEAM standards.
  • Innovative Technology Implementation: Incorporating advanced technologies such as stack ventilation, photovoltaic cells, and LED lighting systems.

Results and impact

Advanced MEP Systems:

Focus MEP installed state-of-the-art mechanical, electrical, and public health systems tailored to the needs of a medical facility.


Sustainable Energy Solutions:

The installation of photovoltaic cells, which generate over 60%

of the building's electrical needs, and the use of LED lighting significantly enhanced the centre's energy efficiency.


Stack Ventilation System:

This eco-friendly ventilation system was implemented

to maintain a healthy indoor air quality.


Electric Vehicle Charging Points:

Supporting the shift to electric vehicles, these charging points

were added to promote sustainable transportation options.


Project Lessons

The Ty Calon Lan Medical Centre is now a benchmark for sustainable medical facilities in the region, boasting a BREEAM 'Excellent' rating. The centre's design and MEP systems by Focus MEP not only cater to the current needs of the medical community but also set a precedent for future developments in healthcare infrastructure.


Conclusion

The successful delivery of the MEP contract at Ty Calon Lan Medical Centre by Focus MEP, in collaboration with Jehu, Apollo, and

McCann and Partners, demonstrates Focus MEP's expertise in creating sustainable, efficient, and modern medical facilities. This project
