Building services firms deliver a range of reports, specifications and drawings for construction.
Most buildings require Electrical, Mechanical & Hydraulic Engineering Services. Many facilities require some level of Physical Security & ICT (Information and Communications Technology). Health campuses (Emergency, Mental Health, Aged care) require very high levels of ICT with complex technical integration. These are supported by high levels of staff process and training. Within Engineering services, exposure to these highly complex operational systems can be infrequent at the level required by Health.
Specialist disciplines ICT and physical security cover the Building’s technical side of Personal Duress. However much of the work is operational process commissioning which is beyond the scope of Building services. Hence the need for a specialist design service.
Typical design deliverables during construction phases are: –
- Master planning
- Pre-concept design
- Concept design
- System Brief
- Schematic design
- Schematic design report
- Schematic drawings
- Detailed design
- Detailed design
- Specification
- Detailed drawings (Room data sheets, Floor outlets, etc)
- Fully documented design
- Detailed design + Pricing Schedules
- Tender Documentation (Gross maximum price)
Sweep offers services for Information and Communication Technology, section 9 of the guide below.
Under Design and Construct arrangements, Building Services firms or Health agencies may choose to outsource to an independent specialist who can create a complete design package for critical hospital systems. Our specialties are: –
Security Systems
With design and implementation experience in Hospitals and large specialist facilities such as Racetracks, Casinos/Clubs, Zoos, Airports and Stadiums, Sweep can assist with design requirements for Security and access control systems, CCTV, fixed duress and intercoms. And commercial buildings too!
Message integration engine
Bringing together a buildings systems onto a centralised platform with a common notification ruleset is critical to hospital. Staff engagement on complex setups is critical. Sweep has experience with common platforms such as Olinqua and Durasuite.
Mobile Duress
For Health Infrastructure construction, Sweep are an independent specialist in Mobile Duress solution design and operation which is governed by legislation and health policy in NSW. See Audit for more detailed compliances required.
Mobile Duress is a highly technical niche area heavily dependent on Wi-Fi technology, body worn equipment, training, and operational health processes to make a solution effective. An emergency or mental health department is unlikely to open without this system being operational!
